Trip Information

On Wednesday, 5 October 2011, the container ship MV Rena ran aground on the reef. By Sunday, 9 October, a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) oil-slick threatened wildlife and the area’s rich fishing waters. By 13 October the ship had started to list and rock in the waves. Over 88 containers, some containing dangerous chemicals, fell into the sea and some washed ashore. The wreck broke in two during stormy weather on 7 January 2012.

A lot of the initial wreck has now gone and much of her has been re-colonised by shoals of fish and marine life. The MV Rena is definitely a spectacular dive with plenty of swim through’s and areas to explore but the Rena represents an advanced dive.

This trip is for experienced divers with a minimum of advanced or deep specialty certifications. Depths drop very sharply to 40m+ and with the possibility of strong currents - the Rena can be challenging.
