Munda conditions and nearby wreck context.
The Vought F4U Corsair wreck is a shallow WWII aircraft wreck resting on a silty bottom offshore from the dive shop. It is a macro-rich wreck rather than a big blue-water profile: the airframe stays intact enough to read clearly, while the best payoff comes from the small life and reef fish around it. Because visibility can be affected by tide and wind, early-morning dives give the best chance of a clean look.
