Loading...Sugarwreck is, along with Tokong Laut, one of the most popular dive sites in the Perhenthians islands. It is a 90 m long sugar hauler sunk in 2000 during a monsoon. As the wreck is relatively new, the coral is not quite covering the ship yet but the marine life is still very good with many fishes hiding in the wreck and some pelagic fishes patrolling the area. As it is a popular dive site, it can sometimes get crowded underwater during high season. Also good to note that the visibility is not always good.
Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isMarch to April. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Sugar Wreck on the right for the exact location.

Perhentian Islands
Nice and easy diving with nice coral and rich marine life. The snorkelling is very good with many harmless blacktip reef sharks.
Sugar Wreck is a really interesting dive site! I think one of the best in the Perhentians Islands. I loved the air pocket trapped inside the Wreck ;-).
