ALICE ROBERT

The Alice Robert, for us, is one of those wrecks that just hits right. Not too deep that it’s purely technical, but deep enough to feel like a real dive, sitting at 46 meters. She’s a motor vessel, split into two main sections, and that’s where the fun really begins. Descending, you first hit the stern section, often bathed in a slightly eerie, diffused light thanks to the depth. We love swimming along her deck, spotting the resident conger eels peeking out from every nook and cranny. Keep an eye out for lobsters too; they’re pretty bold here. The bow section, a short swim away, feels like a completely different wreck. It’s more broken up, more open, and feels a bit more dramatic. Shoals of barracuda often circle above the wreck, their silver scales flashing as they catch the light from above. We’d suggest saving your bottom time for really exploring the nooks here, checking for nudibranchs on the encrusted metal. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the slow creep of nature reclaiming something man-made. The visibility in summer can be really special, making the wreck appear almost suspended in the blue.
