It's mating season, so visibility is a bit obscured by plankton and eggs etc. but it does not take away the great experience of diving the wrecks. There is a rich variety of species, watch out for the unusual nudibranchs that live there.

It is unlike anything we've dived before! The dive center we picked suggested the Tangat Wreck and Mokazan Maru Wreck. both for advanced divers. I didn't know what to expect for the dives. As we descend to our first wreck dive, i was nervous and excited. As our dive master went in the ship, i was surprised at how dark... More

Its hard to explain how awesome it is to dive these big wrecks. If your even a little interested, do it. Also, get your nitrox cert if you can before you visit, I will have mine next time. Also, I used the dive masters from Discovery Divers Resort, very professional and fun.

When we're told we're heading there to see the sunken ship. I felt a bit afraid when told that it's approx. 40 meters deep, but upon docking, you can already view the ship's wreck because the water is so clear, when our boatmen, threw some bread & leftover rice to the sea, it's amazing to see a variety of fish...

We did snorkeling on the Japanese wreck and it was pretty deep. I can't go really near the Wreck due to the depth but you can clearly see it. The water is clear and there are a lot of fishes. You can even see the Main Gun on the boat. I think one should have scuba gear to truly appreciate... More

If you're a diver, and are at all interested in wreck diving, I can't imagine better places than here. Do it!! And go with Rocksteady, they are superb!
