Dunraven wreck

Dunraven

Home » 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 on fire. It sank in 30m of water beside the reef, upside down. The shipwreck has been underwater since 1876, more than 140 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 that is on the top 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.

How to book

We normally schedule wreck diving excursions at least once per week. However, as they depend on good weather and require a minimum number of people, we cannot guarantee your excursion on a specific day.

We recommend you sign up at the dive centre on your first day, or ask your dive guide, so we can inform you of the next available trip.
