About This Dive Spot
The Malayan Wreck is located on the shallow reef top at the southwest side of Tubbataha's north atoll. This fishing vessel, which met its fate during a typhoon in the 1970s, now rests at a depth of 3 to 5 meters. Divers can find a marker float indicating the site, where they are often greeted by a school of 30 to 50 adult harlequin sweetlips. The wreck provides a unique opportunity to explore marine life in a relatively shallow environment.
