Tin Mine Wreck

This wreck was once a Tin Mining vessel that sunk during the tsunami in 2004. The wreck has spread out over the years due to the currents & waves. The wreck lies at a maximum depth of 16m’s, which makes this a great site for not only Advanced Open Water students but also Open Water students who are doing open water dives 3 & 4. The site also has some arterial reefs, which are a good place to find schools of fish such as batfish or barracuda.

This site is not for finding any of the really big stuff like manta rays, but it does hold a very good variety of small nudi-branchs, catfish, moray eels & squid swimming around.

When visibility is good, you will be treated to a fabulous overview of the wreck, being able to see the wreck in all its splendour.
