KMP Rafelia 2

The KMP Rafelia 2 wreck isn't just another sunken ship. It’s a stark, compelling dive, especially if you appreciate a wreck with a story and a real sense of presence. Lying flat at a shallow 11 meters, this passenger ferry is remarkably intact, making for some truly atmospheric exploration. We love how the vehicle decks are still wide open, and you can easily swim through, past the ghostly outlines of cars and motorbikes that went down with her. For us, the draw isn’t just the wreck itself, but the unexpected life it’s attracting. Schools of snapper and fusiliers flit in and out of the superstructure, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a surprisingly safe wreck for open water divers to penetrate a bit, offering that thrill without the usual deep-wreck demands. The visibility can be variable here, as it’s quite close to shore, so we’d suggest timing your dive for high tide if you can to get the clearest water. It's a poignant, unforgettable dive, a true reflection of the ocean’s power and resilience.
