About Salang House Wreck

Just two minutes away you can find one of the seventeen "Thai fishing boats" which the marine park sank around Tioman. It sits upright on a sandy bottom in twenty meters of water and is nicely covered with soft corals. We access it from the beach by swimming out to about six meters and then follow the sandy slope all the way to the wreck. As soon as you reach the wreck you are greeted by batfish which then lead you to a school of yellowfin snappers. Large groupers are always hiding inside the wreck and you will surely also see some red snappers, lion fish and if you really lucky the harlequin ghost pipe fish or on the way back a demon stinger on the sandy bottom. Nudibranchs are found literally everywhere, as long as you have an eye for them. Our record is 23 different nudibranch species on 1 single dive! During a night dive this wreck becomes one of our favorite dive sites. The whole wreck becomes alive with all kinds of cleaner shrimps, spider crabs, dragon snails, moray eel, nudibranchs and lion fishes.
