Horaine Wreck

Also known as: 蓬莱根沈船 (Japanese) · Daini Saikai Maru · 第二西海丸 (Japanese)

The ship sits alone on a bright white sandy plain, so fish gather around it like an oasis. Bluestripe snapper, tomato groupers, batfish and the endemic wrought iron butterflyfish live on it, and garden eels and gobies are found in the sand nearby. There is usually no current, and the site is also used for early-morning and night dives. Divers have met humpback whales here in winter, and spinner dolphins are often seen in the nearby bay.
