Koh Kraden Wreck |
Location |
Off the southwest coast of Koh Kraden |
Depth |
Average 24m / Maximum 28m |
Description
The wreck is believed to be of a 60-70m Japanese destroyer sunk by air attack in 1944. It sits in 28m of water. As the visibility here generally worsens below 20m, the way to find the wreck is to follow the many fish that frequent what has become an artificial reef.
Those experienced in wreck-diving can penetrate the bow sections, but it is not advisable to attempt entry to the stern section, which is draped with fishing nets and subject to much silting.
