Maldive Victory
A cargo ship from Singapore that sank off the airport island on 13 February 1981 and now sits upright with the bottom at about 35–37 m and the deck around 25 m. The hull is covered in corals and fans and attracts groupers, batfish, large pufferfish and fusilier schools, with lionfish at the bow and nudibranchs on the outer hull.
