Bangladesh (Wreck)

The Bangladesh wreck, sitting upright at 30 metres, is one of those dives that feels a bit like stepping back in time. We love the sheer size of the thing, a proper cargo ship that went down in 1914, still largely intact and full of character. Descending onto the main deck, you’re often greeted by schools of glinting damselfish flitting through the superstructure, and we’ve spotted plenty of scorpionfish tucked into crevices along the hull. Our favourite part is the penetration into the holds. They’re spacious enough that you don't feel claustrophobic, but still offer that thrilling sense of exploration. You’ll find crabs scuttling across the cargo and the occasional moray eel peeking from behind a bent beam. It's an intermediate dive, really perfect for divers comfortable with depth and perhaps looking to get their first taste of wreck penetration in a relatively safe environment. The visibility here can be excellent, especially on calm summer mornings, adding to the almost ghostly atmosphere of the wreck. Just watch your bottom time; 30 metres adds up quicker than you think.
