Double Boiler is a guided wreck dive off Goa with a full ship traverse.
Local operator support is the normal way to dive Double Boiler because the wreck is seasonal, exposed and harder to spot.
Double Boiler is a steel-hulled steamship wreck off Goa that is best treated as a guided boat dive. The wreck gives you a clear traverse from the bow through the engine section to the stern, with machinery and ship structure as the main draw. Expect a seasonal wreck rather than a calm reef, with limited visibility and enough current to reward steady buoyancy and good local briefings. It suits experienced wreck divers who want structure, history and a bit of search-and-reward.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat wreck dive with a full traverse and clear stops at the bow, machinery section and stern gear; best for deliberate buoyancy and close route-finding.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the wreck profile and limited visibility make it a scuba-only target.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel stop; the value is on the wreck itself below the surface.
