TASU II Wreck: Deliberately sunk in 1994, TASU II was a 200 ton Taiwanese fishing vessel. She sits upright, on a sandy bottom, in about 25m of water next to Yanuca Island. A well protected spot â?? the visibility at this site is usually excellent and the opportunity for underwater photo enthusiasts is fantastic. Slowly but surely she is being turned into an artificial reef and already provides shelter to many reef fish and juveniles. Sponges and corals are starting to encrust her and every passing year she becomes more and more beautiful in her mantle of living reef.
3 Nuns: Three large coral bommies encrusted with soft corals of every imaginable color. Schools of anthias dart in and out of the corals protection as larger colorful surgeons- and parrotfish chase them.
