Sanko Harvest Wreck

Calling all thrill-seeking divers! Beneath the turquoise waters off Esperance lies one of the most exhilarating dive sites in the world – the Sanko Harvest. This colossal 174-meter-long Japanese bulk carrier, once destined for disaster, now thrives as an underwater paradise, brimming with marine life and mystery.

Resting 21 nautical miles from Esperance Port, the wreck is the second-largest wreck dive globally and the largest off the Australian coast. Its three sections, scattered across depths ranging from 18 to 44 meters, offer an unforgettable experience for advanced divers. With vibrant coral gardens, towering kelp forests, and schools of colorful fish like blue gropers and red snappers, every turn reveals something magical. And don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by playful seals or curious dolphins – they love this wreck as much as we do!

Declared a marine sanctuary in 1994, the Sanko Harvest is a testament to nature’s resilience, transforming from an environmental tragedy to a diver’s dream. Whether you’re navigating the twisted metal corridors or marveling at the marine biodiversity, this site promises excitement at every depth.
