Km Sipadan & Sawadee Wrecks is Tioman's wreck trio, where two fishing boats and a former Royal Navy vessel were sunk to build an artificial reef. The site mixes a steel wreck you can enter with older wooden wrecks nearby, so the dive feels like a compact wreck circuit with schooling fish, macro life, and a clear progression from open sightseeing to more advanced penetration.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Use wreck and deep training for the penetration sections, and keep turn points conservative if the current or visibility makes the wreck line harder to read.
Access Restrictions
Advanced divers are the default fit; wreck penetration requires extra training and a conservative team brief.
Legal Notes
The wrecks were intentionally sunk as an artificial reef, so penetration and deeper exploration should stay within training and guide limits.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A boat wreck dive with one penetrable steel wreck and two older wooden wrecks nearby. The site works best as an advanced multilevel circuit with careful line management.
Freediving
Not a sensible freedive target because of the depth, wreck structure, and penetration profile.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the attraction is the wreck structure below the surface.
