MAKAH
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles and pufferfish - MAKAH offers some of Nha Trang's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 25-31°C, warmest May, June, September.
Makah is an interesting little tugboat wreck, sitting upright in about nine metres of water. It’s certainly a well-established artificial reef, sunk back in '69, so the corals and sponges have had plenty of time to set up shop. We usually find quite a few lionfish tucked into the superstructure, along with anemones hosting resident clownfish. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen to spend time framing shots, or newer divers getting their first taste of wreck penetration through the wheelhouse. The top deck is at a manageable depth, making it an easy way to spend an hour underwater.
