Two Caves (Wreck)

This is a wreck dive site of a sunken Sri Lankan people smuggler. The vessel carried a load of refugees to the Australian mainland. Coast Watch photographed the vessel, however, it was unable to apprehend while in Australian waters. A week later she arrived at Cocos Islands claiming to be poor lost fishermen.
