About this site
MV Frontier is a wreck dive site at Saint Helena island, sitting at approximately 28 metres depth and rated for advanced divers.
The wreck rests at around 28 m at its deepest point, making it one of the deeper dive sites among Saint Helena's seven notable wrecks. The peak dive season runs from January to June, with February and March delivering the best visibility, which can reach up to 45 metres. Water temperature at Saint Helena varies seasonally, and a 5–7 mm wetsuit is recommended. A deep or wreck specialty certification is beneficial given the depth.
Saint Helena's waters are home to over 50 endemic marine species, and divers on the island regularly encounter dolphins, Chilean devil rays, sea turtles, and seasonal whale sharks. Whale sharks are present from mid-January through April, with January and February offering the highest chance of encounters.
