Maraldi

The Maraldi wreck is a firm favourite of ours for a reason. It’s shallow, topping out at 6 metres, and while it’s mostly dismantled, that’s part of its charm. We love poking around the scattered ribs of the hull and the big, photogenic boiler that sits smack in the middle. Sunlight pierces the clear, green-tinged water, illuminating schools of Barred Grunts that mill about the structure. You’ll spot Whitespotted Filefish grazing on algae-covered metal, and if you look closely, you might even find an Opossum Pipefish tucked away. It's a proper playground for new divers, offering a gentle introduction to wreck diving without the pressure of depth. We’d suggest going in the morning; the water often feels calmer, and you get that beautiful angle of light. Even experienced divers find something to appreciate here – it’s just a relaxing, easy dive, full of small discoveries.
