IRO WRECK

Experience level: Intermediate
Typical depth: 30 meters / 100 feet - Nitrox is highly advised

This beautifully preserved wreck sits upright with the bow at 16m / 50ft and the stern at 30m / 100ft. Most of the 150m / 480ft long super structure is still intact and covered in hard corals. Although this was a cargo ship in the war there are two large turret guns still in place at the bow and stern. A typical dive makes its way slowly along the deck of the wreck exploring the cargo holes, helm and other mast structures. Look out for the large school of Big-eye Trevally swirling around the fore masts, curious Bat Fish and occasionally a large solitary barracuda. Look even closer at the corals to find Soft Coral Crabs, Pipe Fish and well hidden Shrimp. The dive ends by spiraling up three aft masts which have a large collection of Anemones filled with Anemone Fish and two large clams at around 10m / 30ft.
