Dive-site story
Resting on its side across an open sandy seabed southwest of Perhentian Kecil, this sunken cargo vessel has transformed into an artificial reef. The hull and cargo holds offer accessible swim-throughs with plenty of ambient light filtering through rusted hull plating. Schools of pelagics and macro critters congregate around the superstructure, making it one of the premier wreck dives off Terengganu.
Open cargo holds providing spacious penetration routes with natural light
Dense aggregations of snappers and chevron barracuda circling the superstructure
Macro subjects including ornate ghost pipefish and nudibranchs sheltering in the hull crannies
Location
