SERAWAKU MARU
Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - SERAWAKU MARU offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The Serawaku Maru is a collapsed WWII Japanese freighter, sitting upright in about 24 meters of water. There isn't much structure left, but the site acts as a sizeable artificial reef. We've seen plenty of schooling fusiliers and rabbitfish, along with the occasional turtle cruising past. It's a decent dive for local wreck enthusiasts, particularly those comfortable with challenging currents.
