About This Dive Spot

The Katherine Shipwreck is a former minesweeper that was intentionally sunk in 1991 to create an artificial reef. The wreck sits in relatively shallow water with a reported maximum depth of 15 m. It supports reef-associated fish life including grunts, wrasses, and squirrelfish, with nurse sharks seen at times. Strong currents make it better suited to experienced divers.
