Why dive here
With 73+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, great white sharks, humpback whales and sperm whales - Toho V (Wreck) offers some of Prony Bay's richest reef diving. Water ranges 22-27°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Toho V isn't just a sunken boat; it's a bustling apartment block for a huge array of fish, and we love it for its approachability. Dropped intentionally, this 55-meter longliner sits upright on a sandy bottom at 20 meters, practically inviting you inside. We always find the wheelhouse and engine room offer fantastic swim-throughs, especially with a good torch to pick out the detail – look for the big groupers lurking in the shadows. What makes it special for us is how quickly marine life has taken over. You'll find schools of fusiliers so thick they practically obscure the wreck in places, and we've seen everything from black angelfish to spotted groupers. Dive in April, and the wreck completely vanishes under a shimmering cloud of juvenile fish – it’s genuinely spectacular. While the resident lionfish are pretty, just remember to keep a respectful distance. This site is a brilliant choice for wreck novices and experienced divers alike, offering easy penetration and plenty of life without being overly demanding.
