    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Dropping onto the NAIS, you quickly get a sense of its history. This motor vessel went down in '69 after a collision, and she sits upright on the seabed, a massive steel canvas now painted with decades of marine growth. We’ve seen everything from schooling fusiliers darting through the superstructure to lionfish patiently hunting in the shadows of the deeper sections. It’s a proper wreck dive, best suited for those comfortable with depths down to 50 metres, where you can properly appreciate the scale of her deck and bridge. The visibility can be hit-or-miss, so go in with realistic expectations, but on a good day, the silhouette of the wreck against the deep blue is pretty special.
