Best for intermediate divers, 19-27m, boat entry, mild current.
The Nebo Wreck is a boat-accessible site located 3000 metres offshore, featuring a structure that sits between 19 and 27 metres deep. The wreck offers penetrable sections, creating an overhead environment suitable for intermediate divers comfortable with confined spaces. Conditions are variable, with visibility ranging from 10 to 20 metres and water temperatures fluctuating between 11 and 27 degrees Celsius. While currents are typically mild, divers must be prepared for surges and stronger flows. Due to the depth, potential for entanglement, and overhead sections, a dive torch and line cutter are essential equipment. Divers should monitor their depth closely and check sea conditions, as swell can impact both the boat journey and underwater visibility.
