Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - SEA INSPECTOR (PROBABLY) offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Sea Inspector, or what we’re pretty sure is the Sea Inspector, is a decent little wreck. It's a 30-meter freighter, broken into sections, which makes for some fun exploring. You'll find sections of hull scattered across the sandy bottom, home to grunts and snapper. The main structure is covered in sponges and gorgonians, with the occasional nurse shark tucked underneath a larger piece of debris. It's not a deep dive, making it a good option for those looking for a relaxed exploration without too much bottom time pressure.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
