BV 95568TS - Nha Trang

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.
