    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Tatebe Maru (probably) is a fascinating piece of history, shallow enough for almost anyone to explore. This Dutch steamship, seized by the Japanese and bombed in 1945, lies in just 8m of water. You’ll fin over the vast deck, spotting remnants of its triple expansion engines and imagining its past. Though she's a "dangerous wreck" on paper, divers will find a calm, accessible site colonised by a surprising variety of reef fish and invertebrates, making it a good second dive or a relaxed afternoon outing.
