Tasman Hauler Wreck is a boat-only Eden wreck for advanced divers.
Tasman Hauler Wreck is a boat-only Eden wreck for advanced divers.
Tasman Hauler Wreck is Eden's signature tug wreck for advanced divers who want a photogenic boat dive with real structure. The wreck is intact enough to explore along the masts, railings, cabins, and engine room, so it rewards slow multi-level dives more than quick fly-bys. Expect cold temperate water and weather exposure on the South Coast, with the site best run when the sea is settled. Fishlife is strong, with schooling kingfish, jewel anemones, sponges, soft corals, and occasional whale song during migration.
