Daini Koyomaru Wreck
The Daini Koyomaru was a sunk Japanese dredger in 1996. It washed up on the water floor and now acts as an artificial reef. The wreck is approximately 244 feet long and is mostly intact. The wreck is roughly 108 feet deep. Most of the interior was deliberately left intact, offering an endless source of exploration for advanced divers.
The railings and steelwork are already adorned with soft corals. Already, the wreck is home to a variety of fish species: French angelfish, moray eels, and barracuda are common. Not as attractive as the Lesleen M, and with significantly less coral development. It lacks the traditional V-shaped hull of a dredger. Penetration is possible but not advised.
The ship went down in close proximity to an existing reef patch. Because the vessel crashed on its side, a wall dive was developed in addition to the wreck dive. It has been noted that the structure's location provides it with a mysterious atmosphere. The Daini Koyomuru (Japanese for "boat #2") is a mouthful, yet the location provides a tough challenge for experienced divers.
