Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles and pufferfish - BV 95568TS offers some of Nha Trang's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 25-30°C, warmest May, June, September.
The BV 95568TS wreck sits upright on a sandy bottom at 31 metres, a ghost of Nha Trang’s fishing past. It’s a solid dive, offering a good penetration for those with the right training, but even from the outside, it’s a compelling sight. We love cruising along the deck, peering into the cargo hold, and imagining the catches this vessel once brought in. Over the years, the wreck has become an artificial reef. Schools of fusiliers swirl around the mast, so thick they occasionally block out the sun, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking from shadowy crevices within the hull. Look closely along the deck plates for scorpionfish, masters of camouflage, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a passing trevally. For photographers, the upright structure, with its dramatic silhouettes against the blue, provides some excellent framing opportunities. It’s a site that rewards multiple visits; you’ll always spot something new lurking in its shadows.
