Diving since the early 90's its not often you add a fish to your tick list, the Wreck of the Matai delivered this, along with a beautiful specimen of a "standard lion fish and a not very shy grouper, find the oscillating lion fish it's by the Ghost Octopus!

My husband and son had the opportunity to dive this wreck with Dive Rarotonga, days later my son is still going on about his experience but this may have been more related to him enjoying the diving.

As others have said - not a pretty attraction. But it does play an important part in the annual Triathlon which takes place in May every year. There is always a swim in Avarua 'round the boiler' which is part of this wreck.

we just wondering what it was, and find out it was wreck . after we find out the name"wreck of the Matai". the area is full of wreck, but this one you can see so close.

The wreck of the Matai, just about all visitors ask what is that thing out in the water!!Seen from Trader Jacks or by the shopping area, I think its worth just knowing what it is but really not much else.....So many wrecks around the Islands.....Books have been written on these wrecks, Don Silk, the late Harbour master wrote a really good book on these wrecks, Cant recall name of the book just now, but worth a read.The part you see sticking out of the water is just the Boiler.
-
Not much to see really, just the remains of the boiler from the old wreck. Makes you wonder how in the world it could wreck there.
-
Pacific Divers took us to this spot and for intro divers its a great dive site and interesting looking over the wreck
-
Unless you want to get deeper into history of the island it is not worth spending time on checking the piece of metal sticking out of the water. You can have a decent view from the shore no need to swim to check rusting piece of metal.

This is the wreck that is viewable right in the middle of town. It does not look much from the surface, but go closer and deeper and you do appreciate how big and old it actually is. From memory, I believe it sunk in 1916 !!!!Was great to see how the sea had turned a wreck into a place of life for fish, turtles, coral and other marine life.

We saw the strange object jutting out from the ocean.......and had no idea what it was until we asked! Incredible to see a piece of history so close offshore.......and in front of the center of Avarua.
