Wilhelm Kraag Wreck

Okay, the Wilhelm Kraag. We love a wreck with a story, and this German cargo ship, sunk during WWII, definitely delivers. Dropping down onto her, you immediately feel that sense of history. She’s broken into a few large sections, which makes for some great swim-throughs – nothing too tight, just enough to get that proper wreck-diving thrill. Visibility can swing a bit here, but on a good day, you’ll see the light filtering into the holds, illuminating the schools of glinting sardine and the occasional amberjack patrolling the superstructure. We always keep an eye out for the resident conger eels, huge heads poking from gaps in the metalwork, and the nudibranchs that cling to the rusting hull. Our favourite spot is usually the stern, where the prop shaft is still visible, drawing the eye down into the murk. It’s a solid dive for anyone comfortable with wrecks, offering plenty of nooks to explore without being overly challenging. Aim for a slack tide to make the most of it.
