Why dive here
With 107+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - W 34 offers some of Tioman Island's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
W 34, a Japanese minesweeper from WWII, sits upright at 57 metres. It went down on January 20, 1945, and now offers a fascinating deep dive. You'll find batfish and barracuda patrolling the structure, with schooling fusiliers often so thick they can obscure parts of the wreck. Penetration is possible for experienced wreck divers, with some tight spots that require good buoyancy. This dive suits advanced divers comfortable with depth and overhead environments, offering a tangible link to history amidst a bustling reef ecosystem.
