Boonsung Wreck
Boonsung Wreck started her days with her sinking in 1984. The wreck is an old tin ore processor that is 60m long, 12m wide and 6m high, and lies in a north to south position.
 Descending from the surface, you'll soon be surrounded by clouds of juvenile Yellowtail Barracuda and Bluefin Trevally, and schools of Ehrenberg's Snapper and Blue-striped Snapper, that all use Boonsung as a congregation point.
There are dozens of Masked Porcupinefish and Common Porcupinefish, parading up and down on top of the wreck. They seem to be waiting in line for a clean from the Remora's in attendance. There's are also some loose groups of Longfin Batfish.
Diving along the sides of the wreck, look closely and you'll see many types of moray eel, such as Zebra Morays, White-eyed Morays, Spotted Morays, and Leopard Morays. Spotfin Lionfish and Bearded Scorpionfish lie in wait too.
