Dolphin (Wreck)

The Dolphin wreck is a real chill-out dive, especially if you’ve been doing some of the punchier current dives nearby. It’s a purposeful sinking, which we appreciate – no tragic tales here, just a ship given a new life as a reef. We love how it sits upright on the sandy bottom at 27 metres, making it super easy to navigate. You drop down, usually with a fixed line, and the whole thing just spreads out before you. We often find ourselves spending ages around the open holds and the cockpit, peeking into the shadows. Schools of grunts and snapper often drift through the superstructure, a shimmering wall of silver. The surrounding sand isn’t barren either; look closely for yellowline gobies darting around the small coral heads that have started to form. It’s a very relaxing dive, good for stretching out your bottom time and just soaking in the atmosphere of a ship reclaimed by the sea. Visibility averages 20 metres, so you get a good, clear view of the whole scene.
