    YTC 30, a barge vessel lying at 32 metres, is one of Redang’s better wreck dives, especially for those who’ve had their fill of shallow reef. We love it because it's still largely intact, offering some genuine penetration opportunities – nothing too crazy, but enough to feel like you're exploring rather than just circling. You can poke around the hold and the wheelhouse, imagining the cargo it once carried. The wreck itself is a magnet for the usual suspects: schooling snappers hang off the stern, and we’ve often spotted batfish gliding through the superstructure. Keep an eye on the sand around the wreck too; we've had some good luck finding blue-spotted rays resting there. Visibility here can be a bit hit or miss, so we’d suggest trying for a morning dive before the day boats stir things up. It’s a comfortable dive for advanced open water divers looking for something a bit different from Redang's typical coral bommies.
