    TU 14 offers a glimpse into a wooden vessel that met its end back in 1979. Sitting at a shallow 10 metres, it's a great spot for newer divers or those looking for an extended bottom time. The wreck itself, though classed as "dangerous" for navigation purposes, is relatively intact, offering some interesting nooks and crannies to peer into. We've seen a surprising number of smaller reef fish here, along with the occasional moray eel peeking from the timbers. It’s a quiet, atmospheric dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
