SUHIWA
Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - SUHIWA offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The MV Suhiwa lies in the Southern Islands, a 61.6-meter motor vessel that went down in '85 after a run-in with the MV Perganda. It's a proper wreck dive, sitting at 27 meters. You'll find it well-colonized, with schooling fusiliers often swirling around the superstructure. Look closely and you'll spot resident lionfish tucked into corners, and sometimes a turtle will cruise past the main deck. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate a bit of maritime history and the way the sea reclaims things.
