HSIN FA NO 3 - Kenting National Park
The HSIN FA NO 3 wreck is a proper delight, sitting upright at a shallow 8 metres, perfect for divers who love to linger. We love how accessible this site is, letting you spend a solid hour just poking around. You can fin right into the wheelhouse, seeing the gauges and controls still largely intact, a real ghost ship feel. Schools of yellow snapper often swirl around the bow, and we’ve found robust lionfish tucked into the cargo hold, alongside shy moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a photographer's dream on a sunny day, with light shafts piercing the superstructure. Our tip: go early to avoid the crowds, the wreck is popular and can get a bit busy after lunch. It’s a fantastic spot for newer wreck divers or those wanting a relaxed second dive.
