LANGIR

Langir. Now, this is a wreck we genuinely love. Not just because it’s a proper ship, though at 57.9 metres long, it certainly is. This isn’t some artificial reef dropped yesterday. Langir went down in a tropical storm in 1970, rolling to 25 degrees before the engine room flooded. It feels like history when you descend. The main deck is around 30 metres, so it’s deep enough to feel like a real dive, but accessible for advanced open water divers. We always suggest getting here early; the early morning light filtering through the water column gives it a fantastic, slightly eerie atmosphere. The bridge is pretty broken up, but you can still make out the superstructure and imagine the crew trying to fight the storm. Keep an eye out for batfish hanging around the mast, and the resident schools of snapper that have made the hold their home. Penetration is possible for trained wreck divers, but honestly, just swimming along the deck, peering into the cargo holds, and admiring the sheer size of it is enough for us. It’s a proper ship, and you feel that when you’re down there.
