Badouzi Bay: Shipwrecks
With many shipwrecks sparsely placed in the vicinity of Badouzi Bay, scuba divers have a fantastic opportunity to explore these fishing vessels that have now become artificial reefs.
Dozens of old fishing vessels, now decommissioned, have been sunk in Badouzi Harbor. Some are larger than others, with the larger ones, you can swim into the cabins and pose for some pictures. If the conditions warrant, and you feel adventurous, we can try to explore the Wreck Museum. This site has 5-6 vessels located within a short distance from each other.
