BLACK HAWK (FWD SECTION)

The Black Hawk’s forward section, just 15 metres down, is our absolute favourite kind of wreck dive – a relatively shallow, accessible piece of history that always delivers. We’ve found ourselves lingering here, often with a slight current nudging us along, just soaking in the sheer scale of it. The intact bow, surprisingly robust despite its age, points defiantly upwards, feeling almost majestic as you approach through the green water. What makes this a standout for us? It’s the swim-throughs and the sheer volume of metal to explore. We love drifting through the hold, imagining cargo long gone, now replaced by thick clusters of dead man's fingers and colourful jewel anemones that look like scattered gemstones. Keep an eye out for the resident conger eels; they’re often peeking out from behind plating or coiled up in the darker recesses. This part of the wreck suits divers who appreciate a good rummage and aren't afraid of a bit of an adventure. It’s a proper dive, offering just enough challenge and always something new to spot.
