THE WRECK

A 1902 Norwegian iron barque at depth

The Langston Wreck is a largely undisturbed, three-masted iron barque that hit low reef in 1902 and now rests at 45m, offering a rare look at a historic hull in clear, marine-life-rich water.

THE WATER

Pristine visibility and active reef life

The site is noted for crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life around the wreck, creating strong visual appeal for deep-diving wreck explorations.

THE DIVE PROFILE

A single technical dive with strict limits

This is run as a single technical dive with a maximum dive time of 90 minutes at a wreck depth of roughly 45m—an excursion designed around a focused deep dive rather than multiple shallow stops.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The trip unfolds as a compact technical operation: meet at the marina in the morning, submit your dive plan and load the boat, transit to the wreck, gear up and execute a single deep dive (subject to the stated 90‑minute maximum), then return to port within the half‑day schedule.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip is for — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Technical DiversWell suited — the dive is run as a technical profile to approximately 45m and is structured around a single, controlled deep dive.
2
Advanced Recreational DiversMay be appropriate only for divers with advanced deep‑diving experience and training; the site’s depth and single‑dive format demand disciplined planning.
3
Families and Novice DiversNot ideal — the depth and technical nature of the dive make this unsuitable for inexperienced or entry‑level divers.
4
Underwater Photographers and NaturalistsA strong match for photographers and marine-life observers who have the necessary deep-diving skills and want to document a largely untouched wreck and its surrounding reef life.
