Shanfu Boat Wreck is an exposed wreck dive.
Shanfu Boat Wreck is a broken fishing-boat wreck off Shanfu Fishing Harbor, split into bow and hull sections over sand and reef. Green turtles and other reef life gather around the bow, but this is an exposed wreck dive where strong current, variable visibility, and route-finding matter more than the wreck's size or depth alone.

Carry a compass and dive computer, keep a close eye on tide and current, and do not push the site when visibility drops.

Scuba Diving
The wreck is split into bow and hull sections over sand and reef, so navigation matters more than depth alone.
Freediving
Only experienced freedivers should consider it; strong current and route finding make it an advanced site, not a casual snorkel stop.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel spot; the wreck sits too deep and too exposed for surface-only viewing.
