F4F Wildcat and Alice in Wonderland is a wreck-and-reef dive with coral and fish
The site is normally dived from Munda with local boat support as part of the Western Province wreck-and-reef program.
F4F Wildcat and Alice in Wonderland is a wreck-and-reef dive in Munda's Western Province, where an upside-down Wildcat rests on a coral reef and the route continues onto a gently sloping reef packed with plate corals and small life. The dive is more about slow looking than fast swimming, with the wreck, the reef, and the coral growth all working together as one photogenic route. It suits divers who want a short wreck visit followed by an easy reef finish rather than a deep or technical profile.
