ECUADOR

Ecuador, off Isla Colón, is one of those dive sites that just keeps giving, even at its shallow depth. We love it because it’s a proper wreck dive – a 30-meter motor vessel – but without the usual associated challenges. This isn't just a pile of metal; the ship sits upright and largely intact, giving it a real presence. You can follow the length of the hull, spotting the propeller and rudder, then poke around the bridge area. What makes it special for us is how marine life has absolutely taken over. Schools of glassy sweepers shimmer inside the darker sections, and we often find nurse sharks resting under ledges. Look closely at the deck plating and you’ll find yellowline arrow crabs picking their way through the sponges. It’s perfect for divers who want to immerse themselves in a wreck without the pressure of deep profiles or strong currents. We always feel a sense of discovery here, like we're exploring a lost world in miniature. Go slow and really soak it in; there’s always something new to spot.
