Wreck of Japanese cruiser Mogami

Diving the Mogami is a serious privilege. It’s not an easy wreck to reach, and its depth means it’s for advanced divers, but the reward is immense. We love how the ship sits upright, giving you a real sense of its scale. You descend into a deep blue, and then the dark silhouette slowly emerges, structures still largely intact despite the years underwater. Schools of jacks often swirl around the bow, a shimmering silver curtain, and we’ve seen marble rays cruising over the deck. Our favourite part is exploring the aft section, where you can peer into the mangled superstructure, imagining the ship's final moments. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, particularly on the remaining deck guns. This isn’t a wreck for penetration, but simply swimming along its immense length, feeling the sheer history, is what makes it a standout. We’d suggest going early in the morning for the best visibility, before any thermoclines set in.
