Dive-site story
Sunk intentionally in 2003 off Sabang Beach, this steel-hulled cargo vessel rests upright on a sandy seabed. The structure has become a heavily colonized artificial reef, offering wide swim-through openings across the cargo hold and wheelhouse. Large schools of fish shelter inside the superstructure, while pelagic predators frequently pass through the open water above the masts.
Upright steel-hulled freighter structure open for non-restrictive penetration
Dense aggregations of schooling fish congregating around the cargo hold
Well-camouflaged benthic predators resting on the deck fixtures and railings
