M-V Alma Jane Wreck

The M-V Alma Jane is our favourite wreck in Anilao, hands down. We just keep coming back to it. This 60-metre cargo ship sits upright on a sandy slope, starting around 20 metres and dropping down to the prop at 32 metres. It’s a proper penetration dive if you’re qualified, but even if you’re not, there’s plenty to explore externally. Swimming along the main deck, you’ll see schooling batfish and huge snappers hanging out in the cargo holds. We often spot lionfish tucked into crevices and occasionally a blue-ringed octopus on the deck plates if you look closely enough. We love tracing the outline of the bridge, imagining the ship’s final moments. Head to the stern to see the massive prop, usually covered in glassfish and patrolled by trevally. It’s a great dive for macro lovers too, with nudibranchs and flatworms making their homes on the railings and superstructure. We’d suggest a mid-morning dive to catch the best light filtering through the holds.
