The Bonegi II or Kinugawa Maru is a Japanese transport ship that sunk together with Bonegi I. Originally the ship was stranded on the reef, but over the years it has broken up under the effects of storms, rust and some salvage work. With the coral encrusted bow emerging from the water near the beach, the stern is teeming with thousands of fish lying at around 30m where you can also examine the two propeller shafts and rudder. Ideal for beginner to advance divers.

The Kinagawa Maru, also known as the Bonegi 2, is a Japanese transport ship located only 1100m from the Bonegi 1. The engine block protrudes from the water and stern lies in 20m plus, excellent photo opportunities here, particularly in the aft section of engine room (the cathedral). There are lots of blue spotted rays on the sand.
