KT Mawar

The KT Mawar is one of our favourite wreck dives on the west coast, deliberately sunk in 2018 to create an artificial reef. Dropping down, you’ll find it settled upright on a sandy bottom at 22m, already well-colonised. We love how the pink soft corals have taken hold, giving the whole wreck a pastel glow, and if you’re lucky, you might spot one of the elusive Candy Crabs camouflaged amongst them. Exploring the deck, schools of blue stripe snapper often swirl around the superstructure, parting just enough for you to swim through. Don't miss a good look at the massive propeller, it's quite something. Visibility often hits 19m, making it a great spot for photographers, and we’d suggest going early to catch the light streaming through the water. It's a relaxed dive, good for most experience levels looking for a pretty wreck that’s still quite new.
