2 Dives – Local Wrecks
On the last day of our special tour, we will do 2 dives at the well-known local wrecks, such as the Boonsung wreck, an old tin dredging platform, famous for its extraordinary marine life and huge schools of fish gathering around the wreck. It is also home to many different moray eels and offers fantastic macro opportunities. Blue-spotted stingrays are frequently found in the sandy areas surrounding the wreck.
After the dives, we return to the port in Tablamu, arriving between approximately 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM.
