    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The SS Carnatic lies in two main pieces at 24 metres, her bow and stern sections somewhat intact. We usually find glassfish shoaling in the holds, and lionfish patrol the deeper parts of the wreck. It’s a nice intermediate dive, easy to navigate, and generally free from strong currents.
