    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    We find Ogano a surprisingly engaging wreck, given its somewhat unceremonious end. This old trawler, scuttled deliberately after a stint laid up, now rests upright at 43 metres. It’s a proper dive for those who appreciate wrecks as artificial reefs, with plenty of nooks and crannies for conger eels and squat lobsters to hide in. Visibility can swing, but when it’s good, the light plays nicely off the wheelhouse and deck structures, making it a solid pick for a deeper wreck exploration.

    Safety Notes

    Maximum depth 43m exceeds recreational limits (40m). Technical diving certification and equipment required.

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.

    Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.

    Always perform a 3-minute safety stop at 5m before surfacing.
