Cars Wreck

Cars Wreck lies off the coast of Negros Oriental near Dauin, an area well known for muck diving along a black sand slope. The name refers to vehicle wrecks placed on the seabed as artificial attractions rather than the remains of a single historic ship, and the site is reached by a short boat ride from local dive resorts. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres over a wreck bottom and is rated an advanced dive. Divers have reported a mix of small, cryptic life around the submerged cars, including ghost pipefish, moray eels, barchin scorpionfish, and harlequin snake eels, along with sightings of blue-ribbon wrasse, cigar wrasse, Dussumier's rockskipper, lined rockskipper, and sleek unicornfish.
