TRF 942
Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and whale sharks - TRF 942 offers some of Redang Island's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, October.
TRF 942 isn't a glamorous, intact warship, and that's precisely why we love it. This isn't a wreck you’ll swim through corridors on. Instead, it’s a fishing vessel, broken and scattered across the seabed at 28 meters, feeling more like an archaeological dig than a single structure. What makes it special is the way the sea has reclaimed it. We’ve spent dives just slowly finning over the debris, spotting octopus camouflaged against the rust, moray eels peering from crevices in twisted metal, and clouds of juvenile snapper swirling around what might have been the wheelhouse. It’s an excellent spot for photographers who appreciate character over perfect preservation, or anyone who enjoys the quiet hunt for smaller critters. Visibility here can sometimes be a bit moody, averaging 10-15 meters, but that only adds to the atmospheric gloom of a broken wreck. We'd suggest going early in the morning before other boats arrive; it feels more solitary then, more like you've discovered it yourself. Just be mindful of the currents, which can pick up, making it a dive better suited for those comfortable with varied conditions.
