HMNZS Moa (Wreck)

The HMNZS Moa is a NZ Navy Minesweeper from WWII. It was sunk by Japanese aircraft on 7 April 1943 while refuelling in Tulagi Harbour with the loss of 5 crew members. Tulagi Harbour is subject to challenging visibility because of the local estuaries and mudflats.

Schools of juvenile trevally, mangrove Jacks, and batfish live on the wreck. Lots of Lionfish throughout the wreck.
