Because they are rich in history and spawn a new environment separate to the natural reef, wrecks become part of the protected environment too!

In our very own Tunku Abdul Rahman marine park, divers regularly visit the fishing wreck that sits at a depth of 18m…and almost perfectly in the middle of the 5 islands of the park too!

Qualified PADI Open Water Divers are able to visit when the tide is lower, which will make the bow roughly 16 metres deep, and there’s plenty marine life to spot even around the mast, such as fusiliers swimming through the ropes holding the mast up.

Continuing diver education on the PADI Adventure Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, and PADI Wreck Diver Specialty, are all possible to conduct wreck dive training on the 10-metre long fishing wreck. With each course, the importance of protecting the wreck is one of the top priorities apart from protecting oneself from harm too. The wreck becomes a reef in its own right, because it is a firm substrate that coral can grown on and provide an environment for marine life.
