About This Dive Spot
Sandy Wreck consists of a series of sunken fishing trawlers that have been intentionally submerged to create artificial reefs on a sandy bottom at a depth of approximately 20 meters. The wrecks are fragmented, with remnants of fishing nets and ropes scattered throughout the area. This site is suitable for practicing deep descent techniques and wreck navigation. Divers can observe schools of fusiliers and trevally around the wreckage, and may also spot rays camouflaged in the sand, remaining mostly hidden from view.
