Best for intermediate divers, 25-27m, boat entry, strong current.
Eidsvag and Owens are two wrecks intentionally sunk off Palm Beach Island to serve as an artificial reef. This boat-access-only site sits at depths between 25 and 27 metres, with an average depth of 24 metres. Divers encounter strong drift currents, requiring intermediate skill levels to navigate the site safely. The wrecks feature overhead environments and swim-throughs, which present potential entanglement hazards. Visibility typically ranges from 12 to 24 metres. Divers should maintain neutral buoyancy to avoid contact with sharp metal edges and coral structures. Due to the depth and current conditions, this location is not suitable for snorkelling.
