Stella Maru

The Stella Maru, a Japanese long-line trawler scuttled off Trou aux Biches in the late 1980s as an artificial reef, has aged into the north coast's most dependable wreck dive. The hull lies at recreational depth with its bow, masts, and deck machinery readable under a thickening coat of sponge and oyster growth. Big morays have divided up the interior spaces and greet torch beams at the openings, lionfish hover in the shade of the hull, and octopus work the debris field. Easy to navigate and forgiving of modest visibility, it is many visitors' first wreck, and a good one.

Topografi: Japanese trawler resting on sand off Trou aux Biches, hull largely intact

Arus: Calm north-coast conditions most of the year; occasional current along the sand.

Bahaya: Light entanglement risk around old cables; respect the no-penetration briefing.

Konservasi: An artificial reef that now functions as habitat: no souvenir-taking, no prying at plates.

Nitrox: Worthit di sini: profil berada dalam kisaran di mana enriched air secara berarti memperpanjang waktu no-stop (dengan pelatihan untuk menggunakannya).
