Photos taken of All Wreck Dive Sites where we Scuba Dive @... Maritime Wreck Dive Site, Vietnamese Wreck Dive Site, the Kali-Polis Wreck Dive Site and Sugar Wreck Dive Site.
Sugar Wreck is, along with Tokong Laut, one of the most popular dive sites in the Perhenthians islands. It is a 90 m long sugar hauler sunk in 2000 during a monsoon. As the wreck is relatively new, the coral is not quite covering the ship yet but the marine life is still very good with many fishes hiding in the wreck and some pelagic fishes patrolling the area.
As it is a popular dive site, it can sometimes get crowded underwater during high season. Also good to note that the visibility is not always good. Most people are here for Wreck Diving.
There is also the Maritime Wreck Dive Site, Vietnamese Wreck Dive Site and the Kali-Polis Wreck Dive Site.
