Shallow Havelock jeep wreck beside Nemo Reef
Jeep Wreck is a shallow shore dive on Havelock Island's Nemo Reef, where a Mahindra Commander jeep sits as an artificial reef beside the reef's beginner-friendly side. The wreck is small but lively, with coral growth, clownfish, snappers, and juvenile reef life turning the site into an easy, close-to-shore dive. It works best as relaxed reef time for new divers or snorkelers who want a simple entry and a calm, low-stress plan.
