Murray Parkinson, The Bonza Wreck is Bonza (SINGLE SHOT 2023)

The millions of shipwrecks found throughout the world’s seas provide a significant contribution to the diversity and quantity of marine life. The Bonza is a small island freighter resting at depth 24 meters in Mele Bay near Port Vila, Vanuatu. The exterior is encrusted with corals and the interior shelters many kinds of small crustacean and fish. Ship wrecks excite the human imagination and divers love exploring them. This panorama is built from six-panels recorded using a compact camera with super wide angle lens, pivoting in the same location about 2 m above the silty bottom and 2 meters from the port side hull.
