Acerca de Molas Shipwreck
Molas Shipwreck es la inmersión profunda emblemática de la bahía de Manado, con el casco de un carguero apoyado en la pendiente y atrayendo tanto a aficionados a los pecios como a buscadores de macro. El sitio combina una estructura de acero oscura, entorno arenoso y vida residente de pequeñas criaturas, por lo que las inmersiones aquí a menudo se sienten más como una mezcla de pecio y fondo limoso de estilo técnico que como la clásica inmersión a la deriva en pared de Bunaken.
