Alright, so the Skipjack II in Baa Atoll. Or possibly the other one, nobody's entirely sure which is which out here. It's a bit of a mystery, really, these two Japanese reefer ships sunk by their owner back in the 80s, apparently with full cargo still aboard. Dropping down, you'll hit the wreck at around 30 metres. She's about 35 metres long, and while the cargo holds are gone, the hull and superstructure offer some interesting exploration. The big draw here is often the schools of batfish that hang around the main structure, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling the sand nearby. It's a decent dive for those who appreciate a bit of maritime history and a slightly eerie atmosphere.
