Silt around the wreck and muck areas stirs easily, so keep your buoyancy controlled from the moment you descend to protect your own visibility and that of other divers. A guided tour is worth booking even if you hold your Open Water certification, as a local guide will know exactly where the most interesting sections of the artificial reef and wreck lie.
Accessible via Tioman SpeedBoat ferry from Tanjung Gemok jetty to Genting jetty.
