    The Fesdu Wreck isn't about deep exploration or pristine structure. This is a small, deliberately sunk fishing trawler, not a grand historical vessel. What we love about it is how it’s become a living, breathing reef. Dropped in around 30 metres, it's pretty much upside down now, its hull a huge, dark shelter. You’ll spend most of your time circling the outside, poking your torch into the gaps where the structure has opened up. The real show here is the resident school of batfish, hundreds of them, so comfortable with divers they'll swim right up to your mask. And while the wreck itself isn't huge, it’s covered in soft corals, particularly a fantastic growth of green tree corals that wave gently in the current. We’d suggest a late afternoon dive; the way the light catches those corals and the batfish is pretty special. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with mild current, making it a great second dive of the day.

    Safety Notes
