About San Choi Wreck
San Choi Wreck is a trio of fishing-boat wrecks sunk off Perhentian to build an artificial reef. The compact cluster sits on sand and draws such dense schools of fish that the wrecks can feel wrapped in motion and shade. It suits relaxed boat dives, macro hunting, and divers who want a lively wreck with lots of easy wildlife to watch.
