What to Expect

The Japanese Shipwreck is Amed's crown jewel — a WWII-era cargo vessel resting in shallow water, now entirely blanketed in coral and soft sponges. Swim through schools of snapper, watch lionfish hunt in the shadows, and explore the skeletal remains of a ship frozen in time.

After surfacing and enjoying refreshments on the boat, we sail to the nearby Coral Garden — a classic reef site bursting with color. Drift effortlessly over table corals, brain corals, and staghorn formations as butterflyfish, angelfish, and triggerfish weave between the bommies.

This is our most requested tour, and for good reason: it offers a perfect balance of adventure, history, and natural beauty in a single unforgettable day on the water.
