About Fang Ming (Wreck)
Fang Ming is a purpose-sunk wreck on the protected west side of Espiritu Santo that now functions as an artificial reef and an easy orientation dive on La Paz wreck trips. Outside the hull, divers usually find schooling reef fish and resting green turtles around a structure that stays bright and open enough for sightseeing, but still deserves standard wreck discipline.
