About this site
MV Mars is a wreck dive in the Andaman Islands, the remains of a small wooden cargo vessel that sank during a storm in April 2006. The ship sits upright on a sandy bottom at about 15 metres and tilts slightly towards the port side, and the roof of the wheelhouse rises to 7 metres. The vessel is undamaged.
A reef lies about 10 metres away, and cardinal fish, parrot fish and trigger fish live around the wreck. Visibility is usually limited. The dive is a short circuit of the wreck and the nearby reef, and it is treated as an easy beginner dive.
