Wreck
Boat-only southwest WA wreck dive with moderate depth, mooring-line access, and a simpler profile than large advanced wrecks.
About FV Lena
FV Lena is a purpose-sunk temperate wreck off the southwest WA coast where a compact fishing vessel now acts as an easy-to-read artificial reef wrapped in sponge, soft growth, and schooling fish. It delivers the classic small-wreck appeal: a clear shape, manageable depth, and enough resident life around the hull to reward both newer wreck divers and photographers looking for structure without the intensity of a large deep warship.
