PANLINA

Panlina. We’ll be honest, she’s not a showstopper, but she’s certainly got character. This little freighter, sunk way back in 1953, sits upright in just seven metres of water, making her a perfect easy dive. You don't need to be a techie to explore her. We love how the deck is still fairly intact, letting you peer into what would have been the cargo holds, now home to clouds of glassfish. Look closer, and you'll spot blennies poking out from every crevice, and we've often seen octopus tucked away in the shadows, particularly in the late afternoon. It's an intimate wreck dive, more about the atmosphere and the small details than grand scale. Visibility can swing a bit here depending on the tides, so we’d suggest going at slack high tide for the clearest views. Panlina is our pick for a relaxing second dive of the day, a place to potter around and just soak it all in.
