Eidsvold Wreck

The guide was updated: 2019-09-24
The Eidsvold was previously a Norwegian phosphatase ship but was struck by a Japanese submarine during World War II. It was scuttled in Flying Fish Cove and later transported (dragged) to its ultimate resting place on the other side of Smith Point. Today, half of the Eidsvold sits between 16 and 60 feet (5 and 18 meters) while the other half has fallen over the edge, out of the reach of recreational divers. Because of the ship’s age, she is now home to coral colonies and the squadrons of colorful tropical fish that Christmas Island is known for. The remains of the hull can be explored by wreck divers.

Dive Type: Wreck

Recommended Level: Beginner, but a Wreck Diver certification would be useful

Featured Creatures: Triggerfish, Lionfish and Eels
