About The Wreck!
SCUBA divers love to dive on wrecks as not only is there a feeling of adventure in exploring a sunken ship (will they find any hidden treasure!), wrecks support a wealth of diverse marine life. Often a wreck is situated next to a reef, but the wreck may support a greater abundance of marine life. So why is this? Wrecks are a great habitat for fish life – the complex structure of a ship provides many nooks and crannies for fish to live in, protected from predators and strong currents. Flat surfaces on the wreck provide a suitable site for juvenile corals and sponges to settle on and other encrusting organisms such as anemones and bryozoans may also be observed.
