About Gouye Kankan
A boat-access wreck dive off Dakar with cabin-level entry, a nearby drop-off, and enough structure to make it part of a broader multi-wreck circuit. The wreck sits on an active offshore wreck field and combines a clear hull profile with enough depth to reward careful buoyancy, gas planning, and a trained wreck-diving approach. Rays, snapper, morays, scorpionfish, and trumpetfish are part of the draw.
