Mizpah

The Mizpah wreck, a former Greek luxury liner, sits upright in about 23 metres of water, split into two main sections. We’ve always found it a solid dive, especially if you catch it when the current isn’t ripping. The bow section is the more intact part, with a discernible deck and some superstructure remaining. You can often fin through parts of the cargo holds, where sunlight filters in through gaps, illuminating schools of grunt and snapper. Look out for the resident green moray eel that sometimes pokes its head out from a pipe. The stern is more broken up, offering a different kind of exploration, more akin to an artificial reef with scattered debris. It’s here we’ve seen some hefty Goliath groupers lurking, massive shadows against the blue. This wreck is perfect for intermediate divers looking for a straightforward penetration experience without anything too challenging. Our favourite time to dive it is early morning; less boat traffic and often better visibility before the currents pick up.
