NO.3
Why dive here
With 537+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - NO.3 offers some of Kenting National Park's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
NO.3, just off Kenting’s coast, isn’t some grand shipwreck. It’s a barge, sunk back in ‘86, sitting flat on the sand at a comfortable 12 metres. We like it for an easy second dive or for those newer to wrecks; there’s not much penetration, but you can poke around the superstructure. Over the decades, it’s become a decent artificial reef, attracting schools of small reef fish and plenty of nudibranchs if you look closely. Visibility can vary with the weather, but on a good day, it's a relaxed spot to watch the fish flow over the metal.
