Best for advanced divers, 27-28m, boat entry, mild current.
The MV Frontier is an artificial reef located off Saint Helena Island, resting at a depth of 27 to 28 metres. This advanced wreck dive requires boat access and is suited for experienced divers comfortable with overhead environments. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 50 metres, allowing for clear views of the structure. Divers should be prepared for mild currents and potential surge at depth, which can affect penetration. Due to the risks of entanglement and disorientation within the wreck, proper wreck protocol, including the use of a torch and reel, is essential. Facilities are limited at the site, so logistics should be confirmed with a local operator in advance.
