KHORUM, RAWL, TALIBONG

We’ve always been drawn to a good wreck, and Khorum, Rawl, Talibong delivers. This isn’t one of those deep, technical dives, which we actually love about it. The maximum depth of 16 metres means you can really take your time exploring the remains of this old cargo vessel. We’ve found it’s the perfect spot for a long, relaxed dive, really soaking in the atmosphere. The wreck itself is a tangle of metal, now completely overtaken by the reef. What was once a ship is now a series of colourful hideouts for a surprising amount of fish. You’ll weave through beams and plates, past schools of snapper that swirl around the structure. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the crevices; they’re often just peeking out. The light penetration at this depth is fantastic, making the coral growth on the wreck glow. It’s a photographer’s dream, particularly on a sunny afternoon. We'd suggest going a bit later in the day, if you can, when the light plays through the water just right. It’s a great dive for anyone who enjoys history and the way nature reclaims man-made objects.
