Alright, Fomeni Wini I. You’re not going deep here, which is the whole point. This ferry went down in ’92 after a run-in with the MV Melina II, and she settled in the shallows, barely two metres deep. It’s less a dive, more a snorkel or a free-dive exploration, and for that, we absolutely love it. You’re really just skimming the surface here, right above the superstructure. Sunlight streams through the water, illuminating the rust-coloured metal, and you can see the entire wreck laid out beneath you. The Fomeni Wini has become home to a bustling community of fish – we’ve seen schools of juvenile snapper darting through the old deck railings, and clouds of damselfish hover over the growth that's started to encrust the hull. It’s perfect for snorkelers or new free-divers looking to get a feel for a wreck without any serious depth. Our favourite time to visit is late morning when the sun is high and the water is at its calmest, making visibility pretty spectacular. Just keep an eye out for local boat traffic; it’s a popular spot.
