About this site
Sugar Wreck is a sunken sugar cargo ship in the Perhentian Islands, lying at a maximum depth of around 18 metres. The vessel is 89 metres long, was built in Fukuoka, Japan in 1969 and was sunk in 2000.
Its position exposes it to strong currents, and part of the wreck has collapsed as a result. Schools of snapper, jacks and chevron barracuda surround the wreck, along with yellow scadfish, and groupers and barracuda visit now and then.
The structure shelters pipefish, seahorses and a variety of crustaceans.
