About this dive site

This dive site is the scattered remains of the St. Sunniva shipwreck, located approximately 40 meters below the surface. The vessel is no longer intact but lies broken into numerous pieces spread across an area of around 50 meters, offering an intriguing site for exploration among the debris. Divers can navigate the different sections of the wreckage, discovering remnants of its past.

Underneath the various pieces of the wreck, divers are likely to encounter fascinating creatures such as lobster, conger eels, and moray eels finding shelter. In the open water surrounding the site, there is potential to spot larger pelagic species, including banc de tacos, the impressive Mola Mola (sunfish), and Saint Pierre fish.

The best time to visit this site would typically be during warmer months when sea conditions are calmer, offering better visibility and easier boat access. This site is particularly well-suited for advanced divers comfortable with deeper depths and wreck exploration. Freedivers with sufficient training can also enjoy exploring the upper parts of the scattered debris.
