Echuca Patch

Five minutes from the Malagan Lodge, this is a large coral ridge rising to within 50 feet from the surface and sloping down to 130 feet with a sandy bottom covered with Gorgonia Fans. A large fishing vessel, the "Dey Yang" rests on her starboard side on top of the ridge. The wreck is home to a large number of fish, including Barracuda. Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Mackerel and resident gropers.

Around the wreck are a number of delicate soft corals. Our most famous visitor to this site was a 25 foot whale shark. Average visibility 100 feet.
