DN 1060 - Koh Tang & Offshore
DN 1060 isn't your typical wreck dive, and that’s precisely why we love it. This isn't some deep, dark behemoth, but a shallow barge, sitting upright at a comfortable 7 metres. It’s perfect for a longer bottom time, allowing you to really soak it all in. We’ve found the light here fantastic, especially in the late morning, filtering through the water and illuminating the wreck’s skeletal remains. The barge itself is slowly breaking apart, but the structure still holds enough together to make it interesting to navigate. Expect to find nooks and crannies absolutely crammed with life. Our favourite spot is usually around the bow, where we’ve often seen schools of fusiliers swirling, so thick they almost obscure the wreck entirely. Look closely among the metal beams and you’ll spot smaller treasures – nudibranchs inching along, cleaner shrimp waving from crevices, and the occasional lionfish hovering with those dramatic fins. It’s a gentle dive, suited to anyone who enjoys exploring a site without the pressure of depth or strong currents.
