Sunk on the 21st February 2002, MV Funguo ran aground on the reef outside Kilindini Harbor. She was salvaged and then re-sunk by Diving the Crab just off Diani Beach. Over the last 15+ years, the wreck has blossomed to become an artificial reef and home to a plethora of corals and fish. A must for any experienced Advanced Open Water diver. Nitrox recommended.
