Route 108 Ruby & Sapphire · Route
Route 108 is open sea between Route 107 and Route 109. The wreck of the Abandoned Ship sits in its waters. You sail past it early with Mr. Briney, then come back with Surf to explore the ship. Its flooded lower rooms need Dive, which you get much later in the game.
