Tide-sensitive wreck stop off Inhaca's northeast corner.
Tide-sensitive wreck stop off Inhaca's northeast corner.
Light House Wreck is a boat dive off the northeast corner of Inhaca where part of the wreck still breaks the surface and the structure drops into tidal water. Plan it around a rising tide so the route stays clean, then work along the wreck for the brass prop, cut-throughs, and the schooling reef fish that gather on the hull. It is best treated as a tide-sensitive wreck stop, not a casual low-water drift.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Wreck dive in approximately 22 m of water with parts of the structure above the surface.
Freediving
Not a typical freedive target; the wreck and timing suit scuba better than breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site. The main structure sits underwater, so snorkeling only gives a partial look.
