Why dive here
Dunraven Wreck is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Dunraven is a solid dive, particularly if you’re into older wrecks. Lying broken in two sections, it’s a steamship from 1873, and we typically drop down to the stern section first, which is upside down. You can poke around the prop and rudder, then head into the midship section. Keep an eye out for schooling yellow snapper and the odd large grouper lurking in the shadows. The bow section is more upright and has some nice coral growth, with glassfish often schooling inside. It's a relaxed dive, good for most experience levels, especially if you want to combine a bit of history with some reef life.
