TUNG LONG

Tung Long is our Kenting wreck pick. Forget the usual reef sites, this is where you go for something a bit different, a bit eerie. She’s a carrier vessel, went down in '91, and now rests upright at 34 metres, mostly intact. We love how the deck structures are still there, allowing for some proper penetration if you’re comfortable with overhead environments and your buoyancy is dialled in. You can swim through the old cargo holds, the light filtering in through gaps, and it feels like stepping back in time. The wreck itself has become home to a decent amount of life. We’ve seen big schools of snapper hanging around the bow, and occasionally a curious batfish will peek out from a doorway as you pass. Look closely in the darker corners and you might spot a moray eel tucked away. The size, 33.5m, means you can explore a good portion of it in a single dive without feeling rushed. It’s a site for advanced divers, no question, given the depth and potential for current, but it’s a rewarding dive for those who seek out history beneath the waves.
