About this Dive Site
Description
The Malayan Wreck, a poignant reminder of maritime history in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Philippines, now serves as a flourishing artificial reef. This 1980s shipwreck, resting at around 30 meters, is a magnet for marine life, from schooling batfish and groupers to vibrant nudibranchs, sea turtles, and reef sharks.
