Overview
An unidentified shipwreck refered to as the 'Anguru Nava' or Coal Wreck by local fisherman. The shipwreck is broken into two at amidships and lying a short distance away from each other (about 8-10m).
The forward part of the wreck is much more scenic than the stern. A school of Blue-Striped Snapper inhabit this wreck while small groupers and various species of stingrays can be seen on occassion. This is not a very popular wreck for marine tourists but most of the time they dive this as the second dive after diving the Chief Dragon Car Wreck, north of this location.
The wreck lies on seabed 32m deep.
