British Oiler / Aur Wreck

This wreck, most probably a British oilier, sunk either due to a fire breakout in the middle section of the vessel or from a torpedo. So far her proper identity and exact cause and date of sinking remains unknown. However, we try to find it out whenever we dive it.

She lies 38 nm south of Tioman, one hour east of Pulau Aur, in a completely upright position in 64 meters of water. After descending one first immediately realizes huge trees of black corals and large shoals of fish among the many lost fishing nets hanging there. One could just sit on the deck at 50 meters for a whole dive without getting bored observing the marine life.
