About Australian Wreck
A tilted WWII wreck in Labuan Marine Park, the Australian Wreck rewards divers who like atmosphere over easy sightseeing. The hull lies on its side and creates dramatic swim-throughs, while the wreck itself attracts coral growth, smaller reef life, and regular macro subjects. It suits guided boat dives and divers comfortable with deeper wreck profiles.
