The M wreck sits just 5 meters deep, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. What’s left of the masts still stands, providing a neat visual reference and a bit of structure for the kelp to latch onto. You'll find a decent scattering of crustaceans hiding in the nooks and crannies, alongside some of the smaller fish that hang out in the kelp forest. It's a straightforward dive, calm and accessible, ideal for an easy afternoon in the water.
