In addition to the rich in colourful marine life and vast array of corals, there is also a fantastic wreck dive. The HMS Harlem, a navy frigate scuttled in 1987, is the best wreck dive in this area. The Harlem lies some 20 metres below the surface and has created an artificial reef for diving, with various nooks and crannies that are inhabited by sharks, corals and a variety of fish.
