Bangaram 200-Year-Old Shipwreck Dive
Outer Barrier Reef, Bangaram Atoll, Lakshadweep 682553
Lying at a depth of 8 to 28 meters just beyond the outer barrier reef of Bangaram, the 200-year-old wreckage of the steamship Princess Royal sank in combat. Over centuries, the iron hull and massive boiler engines have morphed into a vibrant artificial reef encrusted with brain corals, sponges, moray eels, barracudas, and schools of yellow snappers.
