Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - SAMUDRA offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The MV Samudra, sitting at 23 meters in the Southern Islands, is a proper shipwreck dive, not just a pile of debris. This old motor vessel, sunk in 1952, has settled upright, making for some interesting penetration if you know what you’re doing and the conditions allow. We’ve found barracuda often hang out in the superstructure, and its hold offers shelter to schools of rabbitfish. It’s a good spot for wreck enthusiasts looking for something beyond a natural reef, though visibility can be temperamental. If you time it right with slack tide, it’s a rewarding dive for advanced open water divers.
