Secret Spot: Taiyo Shipwreck, Solomon Islands
Taiyo Shipwreck
The bow is in 5 feet of water — when you swim over it, you can look straight down the deck.

On its maiden voyage, this 300-foot fishing boat ran aground after striking a coral reef in Nono Lagoon, Solomon Islands. An attempt to salvage the ship went awry, and caused the Taiyo to sink vertically over the reef edge. Its bow sits just a few feet below the lagoon’s surface, and the ship remains fully intact.
