The Chikuzen is a large refrigeration ship that lies in a remote, sandy area. Its isolated location has made it a magnet for a huge amount of marine life, including massive goliath groupers, sharks, eagle rays, and huge schools of fish.

Features

A 75m (246ft) long refrigeration ship lying in the open sand. The wreck's isolation has turned it into a massive artificial reef, attracting huge schools of fish and large pelagics. It is an advanced dive due to its exposed location.
