About Kayali (Wreck)
Kayali is a deep, fully penetrable trawler wreck off Gustavia that draws wreck divers who want a deliberate, structured exploration. The dive sits as a compact hull with interior spaces and a simple boat approach, so the main challenge is depth management rather than navigation. It is best done with a guide and calm conditions, because the wreck rewards slow, careful diving.
