About Reef Explorer (wreck)

Reef Explorer (wreck) is a fishing-boat wreck off Rasdhoo that now works as a compact artificial reef. The wreck lies on sandy bottom and is known for garden eels, shrimp, resident groupers, and occasional manta or turtle passes. It suits slow boat dives with careful buoyancy because the wreck structure and loose sand reward controlled finning.
