    Location: Off Asia Divers pier
    Depth: 40 to 100 ft. (12 to 30m)


Almost directly off the Asia
Divers’ pier in Sabang Bay is a
scuttled shipwreck that is a great
fish magnet. It’s the most substantial
wreck in the bay and can be dived
from shore or the pier but is best
done by boat as it is deep. The
actual ship is a 60-ton, 115-ft.
(33m) steel-hulled cargo ship. It was
built in Japan in 1966. It was
purposely sunk in March 2003. It
landed upright, making it a great
wreck to photograph.
With a variety of marine life
taking up residence in and around
the wreck, wreckies and tekkies


love having such an easily
reachable ship. Photographers love
it even more, especially for wide
angle work.
