About Mv Meppel
MV Meppel is an advanced wreck dive off Anguilla, where a deliberately sunk ship now sits as a compact artificial reef. The appeal is the wreck itself, with a largely intact hull, open-water access and the kind of marine growth and fish life that builds on a settled wreck over time. Plan it with a boat operator and clear expectations: this is a wreck-management dive, not a casual scenic swim. It rewards controlled descent, clean buoyancy and enough gas planning to look around the structure properly.
