Boonsung Wreck

Boonsung Wreck

Boonsung Wreck was an old tin mining vessel that sank in the 1970’s. As a part of the industry that destroyed the local reefs, it is ironic that it now forms a habitat for masses of fish – particularly juveniles, and is locally known as ‘fish soup’.

The wreck is slowly crumbling and there are no parts that are safe to penetrate.  Each year parts of the structure collapse, creating an ever-changing site.

The wreck is sitting on the sand at a depth of 18 metres, making it suitable for all levels of divers.
