Dive-site story
Resting upright in shallow, sheltered waters off the coast of Sipalay, this small wreck acts as an artificial reef structure colonized by encrusting sponges and corals. The intact hull and open compartments allow easy exploration for photographers and novice wreck divers looking for macro subjects. Sunlight reaches the entire profile, illuminating schooling baitfish inside the hold and critters tucked along the deck machinery.
Photogenic shallow wreck enveloped by soft corals and ascidians
Dense clusters of glassfish sheltering within the hull compartments
Calm, protected waters suitable for training dives and long macro photography sessions
