Dive-site story
Located directly off the Sea Aquarium coastline at Bapor Kibrà, Shipwreck Point offers a rich reef slope combined with historical maritime artifacts. Remains of the steamship SS Oranje Nassau and antique anchors rest along the plateau before the bottom drops sharply into deep blue water. Ocean research submarines regularly operate from the adjoining marina, occasionally crossing paths with divers ascending along the wall.
Historical anchors and scattered wreckage encrusted with hard corals
Steep fringing drop-off covered in large barrel sponges and gorgonians
Frequent encounters with sea turtles feeding along the upper reef crest
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
