Tricky shore entry over rocks with some waves / surge. Once we were all in the water, we did a surface swim to the shallow mooring. We all gave our OKs and descended. Once we had descended, we headed to the north mooring.
Heading toward the wreck in a perpendicular direction to the reef, I was met with a very large ominous shadow. After a quick internal panic, I soon realised it was the Hilma Hooker wreck. The closer we got, the clearer wreck appeared.
The 72m wreck sits on its side on the sand between the double reef. The bottom of the ship sits at approximately 30m. There were a lot more divers at this site compared to the previous sites, clearly a favourite among the tourists.
There was plenty of life in and around the ship. A few large tarpon hanging around the deck of the ship. Spotted a few cowfish, surgeon fish and triggerfish.
