    The St. Christopher wreck in Anilao is a cargo ship, sitting upright in just 12 meters of water. She went down back in '79 after a rough wave shifted her cargo, and the wreck's structure is still quite intact, making for some easy penetration dives. We often find schooling batfish hovering around the mast and rudder, and the holds are now home to plenty of lionfish and morays. It’s a good site for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive, with plenty of natural light even inside.
