ENKI MARU
Why dive here
With 41+ marine species recorded in the area - including seahorses and sea turtles - ENKI MARU offers some of Hoi An & Cu Lao Cham's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-31°C, warmest June, August, September.
The Enki Maru, a steamship resting at 40 metres, is a significant piece of history off Cu Lao Cham. Sunk by a US submarine in January 1945, the wreck offers a fascinating dive into the past. Down on the seabed, the ship's structure is largely intact, providing plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. Schools of snapper often congregate around the deeper sections, and we've seen moray eels peeking out from various openings. It’s a dive for those who appreciate historical wrecks and are comfortable with deeper profiles, a really unique experience in Vietnamese waters.
