Mosquito Wreck
Wreck described by Dive The World as a vessel of Japan's WWII 'Mosquito Fleet', with an intact bow gun and some original cargo; jacks, barracuda and groupers, occasionally mantas or whale sharks. Only one source dates the wreck this way, so its history and exact position are unconfirmed.
