Rogers Barge is a deep wreck off Fahal Island that rewards careful, line-assisted planning rather than a casual drop-in. The site sits off North Point and is best treated as a controlled wreck inspection with disciplined gas management and a calm descent. Around the wreck you can expect strong fish life, nudibranchs, rays, and fan corals, with the chance of larger predators on a good day.
