About this site

Sabang Wreck lies off Sabang, the main town on Weh Island near the northern tip of Sumatra, in waters where the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea meet. The wreck sits shallow, with a maximum depth of around 14 metres, making it a beginner dive. Divers have reported ghost pipefish, mantis shrimp, pipefish, and scorpionfish around the site, which suits divers looking for smaller, more camouflaged marine life rather than open-water drama.
