Okikawa Maru
★★★★★
(1,478)
One of at least 19 Wartime Standard Merchant Tanker 1TL’s, this wreck was considered one of the most important ships in the Japanese service. During the air raid, its stern sank but the forecastle was still at the surface. It was two weeks later when a follow-up strike was conducted that it finally sank to the bottom.
The wreck has developed a beautiful artificial reef, full of reef fish and coral. Plus you have the chance to see Jacks.
