RUSLI
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, sperm whales, spinner dolphins, nautiluses and pufferfish - RUSLI offers some of Andaman Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The Rusli, an old motor vessel, went down in 1985 and now rests at 60 meters. It’s a deep dive, making it one for experienced wreck enthusiasts with appropriate training. We've found the hull still largely intact, a testament to its solid build back in 1954, though weather and currents have done their work. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics cruising by; the depth often attracts them. Inside, you can still make out the superstructure, now home to schools of snapper and the occasional reef shark. It's a sombre, quiet dive, a proper exploration into a piece of maritime history.
