Bulgaria Black SeaA Turkish cargo steamship. Launched in 1888. Displacement 330 GRT. On 23.05.1942, while traveling from Burgas to Istanbul, it was unsuccessfully attacked with two torpedoes by the Soviet Sht-205 submarine, not far from Tsarevo. Fearing a repeat attack, the captain of Sefak turned ashore and dropped anchor. The ship’s fate was decided: shooting now at a stationary target, Suhomlinov, the submarine captain, sent the steamship to the bottom with the next two torpedoes. All nine crew members saved themselves.
Today the ship is found about 50 meters from the shore, at a depth of 10-16 meters. Discernible is a part of the stern with the screw and three-meter helm, as well as a multitude of debris over some hundred meters area. Part of the cargo comprising sanitary faience and tiles inscribed "Made in Hungary" is scattered over the bottom.
Among the fragments one can see a part of the torpedo that probably hit the ship in the middle. The Sefak is about 50 meters long, it lies with the bow pointing out to sea.

She still has lifeboats sitting on the sea bed near the funnels.

Honduras Caribbean SeaNice little dive site just off the shore of Laguna Beach Resort. Several entry points from the shore. The proximity to the lagoon with murky water can effect the visibily but increases the likelihood to spot special marine life like eagle rays or yellow stingrays. Nice hard coral wall with several cracks, dropping from 3-4m down to 20m+. Toadfish, green moray, sharp nose puffer, schools of Blue Tang, different angelfish, occasional pelagics like jacks or palometa. Several cleaning stations in the shallow. Great for wide angle especially in the morning and afternoon.

Netherlands Antilles Caribbean SeaProbably the best "hard coral" reef on the south side of Curacao. Watamula is situated at the western tip of the island and is best dived from a boat. Both "Dive Charter Curacao" and "Ocean Encounters West" run boat trips to Watamula. Shore diving is possible but both entry and exit are very difficult, due to possible strong currents a dive guide should be used.

Maldives Indian OceanThe biggest channel in the Rasdhoo Atoll, long
reefs with hard and soft corals. Due to the
hydrographic conditions, channels belong to
the favorite feeding grounds of large plankton
feeders. Therefor sights of mantas frequently
occur on that diving spot. The equally elegant
eagle rays and white-tip reef sharks can also
be seen there. Moray eels, lion fish and parrot
fish you find almost everywhere. The very rare
ribbon eel can be observed there, mostly with
just the head exposed.
