The Drift takes about a 40 minutes from the bay to the wreck passing the Coral Gardens.
Along the way expect to see lots of hard and soft coral ridges teeming with reef fish, huge sponges, nooks and crannies hiding all manner of marine life including little whitetip reef sharks, squid, cuttlefish, bumphead parrot fish, napoleon wrasse, spotted rays plus the usual assortment of shrimps, hawkfish, lionfish, nudibranchs and moray eels.
