Six of

the best

Wreck dives

Rainbow Warrior

The Greenpeace ship was

sunk by French frogmen

in 1985. She was floated

briefly then sent to the

bottom again in Matauri

Bay, New Zealand

MS Zenobia

Our only Med dive

on the list – the ferry

is free to explore in

42 metres of water

of Larnaca, Cyprus

Hilma Hooker

The 70m cargo ship was

seized after being used

to smuggle drugs, and

sunk shortly after as an

artificial reef of Bonaire

in the Caribbean. She’s

30 metres down, but the

water is so clear you don’t

need to swim to the bottom

SS Yongala

The tragedy of Yongala’s

sinking, in which 122

lives were lost in 1911,

adds poignancy to this

stunning Great Barrier

Reef dive. A bucket-lister

USAT Liberty

Torpedoed in 1942,

this military cargo

ship lies just 30 metres

ofshore of Tulamben

in Indonesia

USS Kittiwake

This artificial reef in the

Caymans has attracted

more than 40,000 divers

since being created in 2011
