Salem Express Diving at this Tragic, Historic Site
Why dive here
Salem Express Diving at this Tragic, Historic Site is a dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Salem Express sits upright on the seabed, a somber monument to a terrible night in 1991. You’ll find her at a depth accessible to most advanced divers, though entering the wreck itself demands experience and respect for the site. Sunlight still filters into some of the upper decks, illuminating passenger belongings, even a few toy cars, scattered as if the ship might sail again. It's a poignant dive, definitely not one for chasing big fish or pristine coral, but for those who appreciate maritime history and a dive that resonates long after you surface.
