What it's like

The Kittiwake is a former American submarine rescue ship. It was sunk in 2011 to become an artificial reef off Seven Mile Beach, and it now rests upright on the sand.

A visit is a boat trip out from the beach to the wreck, where you can dive or snorkel over the hull. The water is clear, and the wreck has become a home for hundreds of fish and other marine animals.

Good to know

Wreck and deep dives need a hired boat and certification.
Visiting the wreck requires an entry fee, and snorkelers and divers pay different daily fees.
