Diving at Blue Water wreck

This is a photo of me and my boys 26m down on Blue water wreck, some 35km off the coast of Brunei. Photo was taken by a colleague.

Blue water wreck is actually the 80m long, 12m wide Philippine stern trawler the “Mabini Padre”, which lies on her portside in 35m of water. She sank on 13 November 1981 whilst under tow fighting a fire on board. Rumour has it that the amount of water used to dowse the flames was the reason why she eventually sank.
This wreck is commonly known as the “Blue Water Wreck” due to its position so far offshore out in the “blue water” and therefore generally has excellent visibility.
