KEN LUNG

Ken Lung is one of those big, sprawling wrecks that just keeps giving. This isn't some dinky fishing boat; it's a bulk carrier, over 150 metres long, which went down in 1977. We love its sheer size, the way it’s split into sections, hinting at the force that put it on the seabed. You can spend an entire dive just exploring the cargo holds, imagining the goods it once carried. The stern is our favourite spot. The propeller is still there, massive and encrusted, and we've often seen giant groupers lurking in the shadows of the engine room. Visibility here can be a bit variable, but when it's good, say 15-20 metres, the light shafts piercing the hull are incredible. Look out for schools of fusiliers and bannerfish swirling around the superstructure. It's a great dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a good penetration, but even just finning over the top offers plenty to see. Just keep an eye on your depth and bottom time; 20 metres might not sound deep, but there's a lot to cover.
