About Ship wreck
Ship wreck is a shallow shore-access wreck at the south end of Mae Haad Bay on Koh Tao. The wreck sits just off the beach in sheltered water and is easy to reach from shore, but low tide can make the swimaround and freedive awkward. It works best as a calm-water snorkel stop with plenty of fish around the hull. Check the tide before you go, because higher water makes the swimaround much easier.
