PLANET

We’re going to be honest, the Planet isn’t a huge intact wreck. What you’ll find at 15m is more of a debris field, but it’s one that we absolutely adore for its character. This wooden sailing vessel, sunk in 1869 after a collision, is now a scattered collection of ribs and hull sections, a true historical jigsaw puzzle. What makes it special for us is how marine life has completely reclaimed it. The timbers are encrusted with colourful anenomes – plumose and dahlia are everywhere – and you'll spot crabs scuttling amongst the wreckage. It’s a fantastic site for macro photography, especially on a day with good visibility. We’d suggest a slack water dive to really take your time examining the details, tracing the outline of what was once a proud ship. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration rather than grand swim-throughs, perfect for divers who appreciate history and the persistent beauty of nature.
