    The Star of Taif is a shallow wreck site, sitting at just 3m, making it ideal for snorkelers and very new divers. We've found the wreck itself is quite broken up, but it still provides good shelter for damselfish and schools of juvenile snapper. You’ll weave around mangled metal, noticing how the soft corals are starting to colonise the shallower sections. It’s a good spot to get comfortable with wreck diving fundamentals without any depth concerns, but be aware of some sharp edges from the exposed metal.
