Anchor Wreck

The site centers on a small, unidentified wooden boat wreck lying on a steep coral-clad slope, with debris scattered over a sandy bottom at about 30–50 m and a heavy anchor still visible on the upper slope at roughly 6–8 m. It is noted for rich coral life on the wall above the wreck, including large sea fans, gorgonians, and black corals that provide habitat for many reef species. Divers typically enter by boat and begin near the shallow anchor, following the chain down to the wreck and then ascending along the sloping reef wall. Visibility is often excellent at about 15–30 m and water temperatures are around 27–30 °C. Currents are generally mild to moderate with a gentle westward drift along the wall. The site reaches a maximum depth of about 50 m, so advanced certification and careful depth monitoring are recommended; a safety stop or slow ascent along the wall allows exploration of crevices and small caves. The wreck is a low-profile, largely broken wooden hull that is heavily encrusted and degraded; its age and exact history are unknown. Debris is spread along the slope and penetration is not possible, and a heavy anchor remains visible in shallow water above the main wreckage.
