Police Wreck

We’ve always had a soft spot for the Police Wreck. It’s got that easy-to-love vibe, not too deep, and usually offers up some decent visibility, making it a solid choice for a couple of dives. The site is made up of three patrol boats, deliberately scuttled. They sit upright, largely intact, and are now coated in a furry layer of soft corals and hydroids. You can poke around the wheelhouses, peer into the holds, and even fin through a few of the larger openings – just watch your buoyancy. What we really love here is the sheer density of glassfish that shimmer in and out of the darker spaces, attracting bigger predators like narrow-barred Spanish mackerel. Keep an eye out for green turtles cruising by, and if you’re patient, you might spot a stonefish doing its best impression of a rock on the deck. Our favourite spot is usually around the bow of the middle boat, where the bubble coral is thickest and hides all sorts of nudibranchs if you look closely. It’s not a challenging dive, currents are generally mild, making it a good one for newer wreck divers or anyone who just wants a relaxed exploration.
