WAI WAI II

Wai Wai II, oh, she’s a beauty, a fishing vessel laid to rest upright on a sandy bottom. We reckon this site is a real treat for photographers, especially those who love capturing the interplay of light and shadow on a wreck. Dropping down, you’ll find her largely intact, a real testament to how quickly the ocean reclaims its own. What we really love about Wai Wai II is how the resident marine life has completely taken over. Schools of snapper and grunt weave through the wheelhouse, their silver scales flashing as you approach. Look closely, and you’ll spot scorpionfish perfectly camouflaged against the hull, and octopuses peeking out from crevices. Our favourite thing to do is drift slowly from bow to stern, soaking in the quiet atmosphere, imagining her days at sea before she became this thriving artificial reef. It’s a gentle dive, making it perfect for those newer to wreck diving or anyone who just wants a relaxed, colourful exploration.
