About Yung Pen Wreck

Yung Pen, a Chinese Steel Hulled Fishing Vessel, meaning 'Good Luck Forever' wasn't so lucky after all. On a early morning of December, 1982, shortly before Christmas, she drifted onto the rocks and stranded. Attempts to refloat her was unsuccessful. Following storms later claimed her and broke her into pieces. This is the remains you will find here. Beautiful bottom topography. She rests in shallow waters, close to four other easy accessible wrecks. Ideal for all level divers.
