Why dive here
Cathedral II is a reef dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest August, September, October.
The FV Maritime Reefer is less a wreck, more a scattering of interesting metal shards. Sunk in '81, it’s taken a beating over the decades, storms have really spread it out, so don’t come expecting a ship you can swim through. What you get instead is a proper habitat, and we love that. Those scattered plates and beams are home to some chunky moray eels, and we’ve seen countless lionfish lurking in the shadows. Visibility often hovers around 5 meters, which adds a spooky, intimate feel as you glide over the debris. It’s shallow, only down to 18m, making it a good wreck experience for divers not looking for extreme depths. Keep an eye out for the big parrotfish, Schlegel's often cruise by, and we’ve spotted humphead wrasse here too. If you’re into the idea of a wreck becoming a natural reef over time, the Reefer is our pick.
