TALITA
Why dive here
TALITA is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Talita wreck sits deep, and we usually save it for later in the trip when everyone's comfortable with their weighting and air consumption. She’s a decent sized cargo ship, 76 metres long, that went down in 1988, so there's a fair bit to see. You can explore the bow, bridge, and stern, though the real draw for us is the engine room, often bustling with glassfish and the odd barracuda lurking in the shadows. We've seen some impressive schools of snapper here too, often silhouetted against the ambient light filtering down. It's a proper wreck dive, best for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles.
