This dive site, the Fisherman Wreck on Tenggol Island, is a 20-meter (66-foot) long fishing boat that sank in an upright position. It has become a highly popular and accessible dive site, particularly well-suited for divers new to wreck diving. Lying at a maximum depth of 18 meters (60 feet) for its main structure, its stable orientation allows for easy navigation and exploration of the structure.
The wreck is known for its abundant and diverse marine life. Divers can expect to encounter fascinating creatures such as vibrant long arm boxer shrimps, various species of puffer fish, and even juvenile baby bamboo sharks. The wreck acts as an artificial reef, attracting a variety of reef fish and invertebrates.
This dive site is best enjoyed for its unique combination of accessible wreck exploration and rich biodiversity. It is an excellent location for divers looking to gain experience with wreck diving in relatively shallow and calm conditions. Freedivers will also find the 18-meter depth of the wreck suitable for breath-hold exploration. Always maintain good buoyancy to protect the wreck and its inhabitants.
