Why dive here
With 491+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and eagle rays - Beata offers some of Salt Island & Cooper Island's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Beata is a tugboat wreck resting upright at 25 metres, quite close to Salt Island. It’s an older wreck, broken up a bit, but still holds its shape enough to explore the wheelhouse and engine room. Expect to see plenty of schooling fish swirling around the superstructure and a good chance of nurse sharks tucked underneath. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy poking around a smaller, more accessible wreck.
