Dropping onto Sabandija, you're immediately struck by the intimacy of this small wreck. It’s a 6.2-meter sailing vessel sitting upright in just 7 meters of water, making it a very relaxed dive. We’ve found the mast still stands, often swaying gently with the surge, and the cabin offers a tight squeeze for a quick peek inside. It's a proper little hub for crabs and small schooling fish, especially during the warmer months when we've seen silversides shimmering around the hull. This site is a solid choice for a second dive, or for those looking to practice their wreck skills without the pressure of deep water or strong currents.
