BD 98839 TS - Nha Trang
The BD 98839 TS wreck in Nha Trang is an interesting dive if you like exploring something a bit different. It’s a fishing vessel, tangled and broken, resting at 23 meters. We’ve found quite a few schooling fusiliers here, swirling around the remains of the bridge, and sometimes a few grumpy scorpionfish tucked into the more sheltered parts of the hull. It’s a good, solid wreck dive for those comfortable with deeper sites, offering a chance to see how the sea reclaims what's lost, turning old steel into new homes.
