    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Sto Niño de Cebu sits upright at 35 metres, a proper deep wreck dive. She went down back in '84, thanks to some rough weather, and has had plenty of time for marine life to move in. You'll find schools of jacks circling the superstructure, and lionfish often perch on the railings, ready to pose. It’s a good spot for advanced divers who appreciate a wreck with a bit of history and a decent resident population of fish, rather than just a quick swim-through. We’d suggest going in the morning before any afternoon currents pick up.
