Noumea wreck with dense life and murky water.
Noumea wreck with dense life and murky water.
This is a boat-access wreck dive that is best run with a Noumea-based operator.
Toho II, wreck is a deliberately sunk longliner off Noumea that feels more like a compact artificial reef than a big open wreck. The bow, stern boulders, and pontoon remnants create a tight route with plenty of life packed onto the structure. It suits divers who are comfortable with a boat approach and can stay disciplined when the water turns hazy.
