    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Ennerdale Wreck, sunk intentionally in 1970, lies upright off Mahé’s coast, a proper steel skeleton for exploration. Dropping to around 30 metres, it's a good one for advanced open-water divers comfortable with depth. We always find plenty to look at here: big potato groupers hang out in the cargo holds, and we've spotted lionfish cruising the superstructure. Schools of fusiliers often swirl around the bow, a shimmering curtain you can swim right through. Visibility usually holds up well, making it easy to appreciate the sheer size of this old British oil tanker.
