Dani Koyomaru
Saint Lucia offers divers a range of diving options. You can visit the smaller, but equally impressive, Rosemond's Trench, or dive in deeper waters. This place is known for its vast schools of tropical fish, large man-sized sponges, intricate coral formations, and huge schools. Diving here is also a great way to see the famous Saint Lucia reef system.
A few miles farther out from the coast is the Daini Koyomaru wreck. This Japanese dredger fell in 1996. The ship is still partially submerged, and the wreck is propped up by the superstructure. Upturned decks are visible, as well as inscriptions in Japanese and other languages.
Dani Koyomaru dredger
The Daini Koyomaru dredged in 1996, a Japanese fishing vessel, is a fantastic wreck to dive. It's 74 meters long and about twenty-four meters tall. It is now a safe diving site for advanced divers, with its sides sunk. French angelfishes, garden eels (moray eels), and barracudas are just some of its marine inhabitants.
Another popular St Lucia dive location is the 165-foot Japanese dredger Lesleen M. The reef is home for a variety of interesting creatures such as scorpionfish, flying garnards, and rays, despite its limited depths.
Soufriere Marine Management Area
