    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The P 464 is a patrol boat, sitting upright in just seven metres of water. It's a great spot for an easy dive, especially if you’re looking to get comfortable on a wreck without deep decompression limits. At 22.6 metres long, you can trace the whole hull, spotting glassfish shimmering inside the superstructure and batfish circling above. We often see moray eels peeking from the engine room, and the deck guns are always popular with photographers. It's a lovely, relaxed dive for any skill level, and perfect for longer bottom times.
