    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Sir Gretan is a tug vessel, sunk upright at 30 metres off Flic en Flac. It's a relatively intact wreck, with some penetration possible for experienced divers who know what they're doing. Look for lionfish tucked into crevices and schools of snapper circling the mast. We consider it a solid choice for wreck enthusiasts comfortable with deeper dives.
