Yong Hua Wreck is a deep Koh Lipe wreck dive.
Yong Hua Wreck is a deep Koh Lipe wreck dive reached by boat, built for experienced divers who are comfortable with current and low-visibility wreck days. The fish-processing ship sits in open water and is prized for its big-fish action and coral-covered structure rather than for easy, relaxed exploration. The line descent keeps the profile controlled from the start, which is why the site works best for divers who want a serious wreck day.
