Marine Life: Garden eels, shark suckers, bat fish, stingrays, glass fish, silvertip sharks, moray eels

Description: Layers of corals have already covered the structures of this wreck so they could attract a large variety of marine life. The star attraction of this wreck dive is undoubtedly the black-spotted stingrays that cruise around the wreck. They have no fear of the diver, so quite often they come very close. Following them around the sunken liner are usually schools of bat fish and a number of shark suckers. There are a couple of moray eels lurking halfway along the deck and hundreds of glass fish usually create a shimmering affect as they dart to and fro about the cabin. On the sea bed, you will find numerous garden eels who take cover as soon as they see a diver, only to slowly show their heads again soon after. Occasionally, you will also come across a silvertip shark or two. Divers can also plan a dive into the interior of the liner if they have suitable experience and a local dive master accompanying them.
