RUSTEY
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, sperm whales, spinner dolphins, nautiluses and pufferfish - RUSTEY offers some of Andaman Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Rustey, or possibly the MV Rusli, is one of those wrecks that just begs for a slow exploration. We've always found its skeletal remains fascinating, a real testament to how quickly the ocean reclaims things. You’ll find schools of fusiliers here, often so thick they shimmer like a silver curtain around the hull, with the occasional eagle ray gliding past in the blue. It’s a great spot for photographers keen on dramatic silhouettes and for divers who appreciate the quiet history of a sunken vessel, though we'd suggest keeping an eye on the current here; it can pick up unexpectedly.
Safety Notes
