Servemar X

Servemar X is a fantastic wreck, probably our favourite of the three tugboats sunk in the area. Dropped in 2002, it sits bolt upright, looking like it’s just forgotten to turn off its engines and steam away. We usually hit it between 20 and 25 metres, and while currents can pick up a bit, they tend to bring in the action. The wreck itself is incredibly intact. We love finning along the deck, peeking into the wheelhouse, and imagining the crew. Schools of glassy sweepers often pulse in and out of the darker openings, a shimmering curtain you can almost swim through. On the deck, we’ve spotted Pacific spotted scorpionfish hunkered down, blending perfectly with the encrusted metal. Look for southern Atlantic sharpnose-puffers bobbing around the superstructure. It’s not uncommon to see a remora gliding by, sometimes even a curious shark or a couple of turtles patrolling the perimeter. This site is great for anyone who appreciates a well-preserved wreck teeming with the life it now supports.
