The Sayonara Wreck is a solid pick for a dive at Turneffe Atoll. This old fishing trawler sits upright on the sand, not too deep, making it a comfortable dive for most experience levels. We like to drop down and take our time exploring the wheelhouse and cargo hold, which are surprisingly open. Over the years, the wreck has turned into a busy apartment block for schools of snapper and grunts, with a few curious moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a great spot to practice your wreck diving skills without feeling rushed, and the light penetration often makes for some dramatic photos.
