LAGANBANK

The Laganbank sits upright, pretty much intact, and is one of our favourite shallow wrecks in Vaavu Atoll. We’re talking easy diving, usually calm conditions, and a decent penetration for those who know their way around an overhead environment. You’ll find the bridge and engine room still have plenty to explore, though watch for silting if a few divers are making their way through. We often see giant moray eels peeking out from the darker corners, and the schools of glassfish shimmer like liquid silver inside the cargo holds, sometimes so dense they block out the ambient light. This is a site we’d recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed dive with plenty of structure, or for photographers wanting to play with natural light filtering through the deck openings. It’s certainly not a deep, dramatic wreck, but its accessibility and the sheer volume of resident fish make it a standout for us.
