Dunraven

Dunraven, another popular wreck is the Dunraven, a Victorian steam and sail ship that was carrying spices, cotton and timber from India. The ship hit the reef after an allegedly drunken dispute involving the Captain, his wife, and his first mate, and caught fire. It sank in 30m of water beside the reef, upside down.

The shipwreck has been underwater since 1876, more than 130 years. Its contents were stripped of by a team of archaeologists in the 80s. Now it resembles a large cave. Inside divers can find schools of yellow goat fish and Giant morays. Due to its long time underwater the hull is encrusted with corals and full of marine life, such as schools of bat fish, nudibranchs, pipe fish and the very rare ghost pipe fish.
As the reef is right beside the wreck you have 2 dives in 1, wreck and reef. The reef is well known to house numerous stone fish and a family of Napoleon wrasse, some of the largest you will ever see.
