Teru Kaze

The Teru Kaze isn’t just a wreck; it’s a time capsule, a sunken memory from WWII that we absolutely love exploring. This anti-submarine boat, resting at around 30 metres, is wonderfully intact in parts. We often find ourselves drifting over the deck, imagining what life was like on board, then dropping down to peer into the open hold. Inside, the light plays off schools of glassy sweepers, so thick they almost obscure the deeper sections. You’ll spot plenty of resident fish life here too: big-eye trevally often circle above, and we’ve seen some spectacular Herre's morays tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for the colourful wrasse species like the peacock and cockerel wrasse flitting around the coral growth that’s started to colonise the metal. The visibility at Apo Reef usually helps make this a really clear, dramatic dive. Our top tip? Get there early, before other boats stir up any sediment. It’s a site that suits anyone comfortable with deeper dives and keen for a bit of history with their marine biology.
