| Only a few people know that the South China Sea can offer great technical wreck diving. In December 1941 a great number of naval vessel sunk either in an air raid or in a mine field north of Tioman. Among these unfortunate ships where the legendary HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse.
The main difference between famous Truk lagoon and Tioman is that most of the wrecks around Tioman are in deeper water and therefore only suitable for technical divers. We’re talking here about average depth of more than 50 meters.

Depending on tides and Ocean currents, visibility of the here described WWII wrecks can range between 8 and 30 meters. Plenty of nets and fishing lines are hanging around the ships and currents can be quite strong at times, especially at shallower depth during decompression stops.
Best time to dive our wrecks are from late February to early June and from September until November.
