About Mv Boelongan Wreck
MV Boelongan is a boat-access wreck dive in Mandeh Bay, reached from Carocok Port and best suited to controlled scuba exploration. The wreck sits in sediment-prone water, so the appeal is the historic structure and the fish sheltering around it rather than clear-water sightseeing. Plan for low-viz navigation and a compact tour of the wreck.
