    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The PMS 1 is a small tug, settled upright in only 11 metres of water. It’s an easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second tank. We often see lionfish tucked into the nooks and crannies, and schooling glassfish fill the wheelhouse. The wreck is largely intact, offering simple penetration opportunities for those keen to explore inside.
