The Boga Shipwreck is a relatively new addition to the dive sites in Kubu, located just a short 5-minute journey from the famous USS Liberty wreck. Sunk in September 2012, the Boga offers a unique and exciting exploration opportunity for divers.
The Boga is an 85-meter long vessel that now rests between 18 and 30 meters beneath the surface of the water. Its position makes it an ideal site for advanced divers, as the depth of the wreck requires an Advanced certification to explore. The depth also adds an element of adventure to the dive, as divers must keep track of their no-decompression limit during the dive.
As you navigate through the Boga, you’ll be able to witness how marine life has begun to claim the ship, transforming it into a thriving underwater habitat. The Boga Shipwreck dive site offers a unique blend of history and marine biology, making it a must-visit for any diving enthusiast in the area.
The site also features a slope filled with sea fans and barrel sponges. As the current picks up, divers can enjoy a drift dive, flying over the slope and often encountering larger fish species such as giant barracuda, giant trevally, and tuna.
Towards the end of the dive, the current eases, revealing a beautiful underwater landscape. Pinnacles almost reach the surface, and large sea fans and table corals provide hiding spots for juvenile white tip reef sharks. Due to the currents, this dive site is recommended for more experienced divers.
