GABARRA TM-60

The Gabarra TM-60, a former US Navy landing craft, is a standout wreck for a reason. At only 17 meters deep, it’s an accessible dive, perfect for those who want time to really poke around. We love how the wreck sits upright, almost like it’s still waiting to deliver cargo, making for some fantastic swim-throughs. You’ll weave through the open cargo hold, imagining its past life, while schools of snapper and grunt shimmer just beyond your reach. It's not a massive wreck, but it’s dense with character. The metal plates are now covered in sponges and soft corals, a riot of purples and oranges, and we always find a curious barracuda or two hovering near the bow. Our favourite part? Peeking into the small nooks and crannies where you often spot moray eels tucked away, their heads just visible. It’s a photographer’s dream, especially on a sunny day when the light penetrates right into the hold, creating an ethereal glow. Head there mid-morning, after the earlier boat traffic has cleared out, for the calmest conditions. The Gabarra truly feels like a living reef, a testament to the ocean’s ability to reclaim.
