This dive site, known as Sandy Wreck, comprises a cluster of impounded fishing trawlers that were purposefully sunk to create an artificial reef. Located on a patch of sandy bottom, these wrecks are now broken off, with fishing nets and ropes strewn across the site. It serves as an excellent location for divers to practice essential skills like deep descend techniques and basic wreck navigation in a relatively shallow environment.
The marine life at Sandy Wreck is vibrant, with schools of Fusiliers and Trevally frequently swarming around the remnants of the wreckage. Divers should also keep a keen eye on the sandy bottom for Rays, which are often found hidden, cleverly camouflaged to avoid detection.
The site is generally accessible by boat. While no specific 'best time to visit' is provided, diving in Malaysia typically offers good conditions during dry seasons. The manageable maximum depth of 18 meters makes it suitable for intermediate divers looking to refine their skills, and also offers a good opportunity for freedivers to practice deep descends.
