    The Z.36 wreck lies in just five meters of water, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed, shallow dive. It’s a broken, spread-out wreck, more like a collection of metal debris than a defined structure. Over time, various local fish have moved in, sheltering among the plates and twisted beams. We find it’s a decent option if you’re keen on exploring the area’s history without going deep.
