    The Sindabad wreck, a fishing vessel sunk back in 1990, sits upright at 25 metres. It’s a solid dive for those keen on poking around a single, intact structure. We’ve found plenty of reef fish have made this wreck home over the years, with schools of snapper often circling the superstructure and moray eels tucked into the darker crevices. It’s not a huge wreck, so you can take your time exploring the decks and looking for the smaller critters that have moved in. Just keep an eye on your bottom time.
