About This Dive Spot
PLM 20 is a notable dive site featuring the wreck of a 110-meter cargo ship that was sunk by a torpedo in 1942. The wreck is positioned upright on the sandy bottom and retains some of its original contents, including crockery and a few bottles of beer and cider. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of marine life, including large groupers and schools of amberjacks. A particularly large grouper, known as GIGI, is often seen accompanying divers during their exploration of the site. The dive site is accessible from the shore, making it convenient for divers to enter the water directly.
