ASIAN VICTORY

The *Asian Victory* is a proper wreck dive, especially for Taiwan's Northeast Coast. We love that it's completely broken into three main sections, all spread out enough to give you a good swim, but not so far that you lose the plot. Dropping down, you’re often greeted by schools of yellowstripe scad that just part as you glide through. The bow section, upright and still imposing, is our favourite. There’s a cargo hold you can duck into, if you’re comfortable with overheads, and it’s usually crammed with glassfish that shimmer like a living curtain. The stern section, a bit flatter, is home to some big groupers that have clearly made it their permanent address. You’ll find nudibranchs crawling across the older growth on the metal plates, and sometimes a stonefish blending in a little too well. With a maximum depth of 15 metres, it’s a site that rewards slower exploration; you can really spend time looking into the crevices without worrying about your bottom time. It’s perfect for divers who appreciate the history of a wreck and the way nature reclaims it, without needing extreme depths or challenging currents.
