2. Mysterious Shipwreck.

Despite our attempts to get an information we still do not know a story about this shipwreck but keep searching. Apparently, this was a cargo boat about 60m long – she lays on her right board at the depth of 26 meters. There is also nice coral reef nearby. Link to a short movie here:

3. Tajau Laut Reef.

This is one of our closest reefs, which lies in front of the nearest village with the same name: Tajau Laut. This dive site is good for beginners and nightdives. Dispite the visibility issue, the corals here are in pretty healthy conditions.
