    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    We always appreciate a good wreck that feels like it’s been there forever, even if it hasn’t. The Franjack, sunk deliberately in the Cousteau Reserve back in the 90s, has settled in nicely, drawing in plenty of resident fish. You’ll weave through the cargo holds and around the main deck, finding plenty of grunts and snappers tucked into every available space. It's a relaxed dive, good for those who like a bit of structure to explore without any major challenges, and a solid pick for underwater photographers too.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
