    The Sulux wreck in Algarve is a pretty straightforward dive, a nice easy one for getting comfortable with wreck exploration. It sits flat on the sandy seabed at 11 metres, making for a relaxed bottom time. We found moray eels tucked into the darker sections and schools of sea bream circling the bow. It’s a great spot for newer divers to practice buoyancy around a structure without strong currents or tricky navigation.
