| Situated midway
between Mahe and Praslin, this is the wreck of a British Fleet Auxillary tanker which
foundered in 1970 on an unmarked rock, Ennerdale Rocks. Having been blown up to make her
safe for shipping, most dives are on the stern of the vessel. The confines protect a huge
range of reef fish, schools of Yellow Snappers and a multitude of invertebrates. This is
also the home of numerous Brown Morays and some large Scorpion Fish. The site occasionally
has current and attracts schooling Pelagics, Eagle Rays, Stingrays, Reef sharks and Whale
Sharks in season. |
