Diani reefs......
Waa Wreck.
The H.M.S. Hildasay. HMS Hildasay Sunk June 21st 1945 and now lies in the sand at 22 mtrs hull up, which means the wreck itself is not wildly interesting. However, there are always interesting and rare fish on and around the wreck so it is a dive that is well worth doing.
