Mexico Caribbean SeaWow - this is a break in the reef on a day when the drift was minimal. Starts as a crack in the reef and proceeds wider to make two walls on either side with beautiful overhangs(and full of critters & fish) - at its shallowest about 30-ish feet, at it's deepest about 60-ish feet, but progresses deeper the further you go and the "break" or double wall progresses to a wall-ish type dive. Since we were so shallow we stayed for about an hour and since we were at our own speed (dive master with my buddy & me), we "sauntered" along at a very peaceful and studied pace. This dive trip (with just the 3 of us most of the time) was one of the most luxurious of my 200+ dives - at our own pace and finally to have a chance to look and _see_ so much u/w, which is a continual wonderment of gorgeous examples of the variety of life.

Malaysia South China SeaSugar Wreck is a cargo boat (carrying sugar) that went down ard dec 2000. It had originaly run aground butwas refloared once the cargo had beentransfered. however the damage sustained to the hull resulted in it going down once it was under tow. It lies on it's starboard side in just 18 metres of water with the port side being at abt the 6/7 metre mark.
The lenth of the wreck is 90metres and the area in which it lies flat bare sand.
Trips to the wreck are all by speedboat from the Perhentian Islands and take about 20mins on average.
The general condition is still good and it is possible to access the cargo area through the open hatch's.
Whilst it is still important to be aware of your surroundings it is an easy wreck to dive around, approx 20m away from the hull are some flat cargo crates sprouting a lot of whip coral,harp coral and some soft coral. The hatch's ALWAYS have bamboo sharks underneath,Lionfish and Scorpionfish on top, numorous Giant puffers hanging around and they are a great place to look for Nudi's.
Because the area surrounding the wreck is just sand it has formed a good artificial reef so both around the wreck (and inside the hull) there are large schools of juvenial Yellowtail Barracuda,Onespot Snapper,Schooling Mullet. Other residents include various Porcupinefish,Giant,Mappa and Yelloweyed Puffers,Batfish,Trevalies,Pickhandle Barracuda,Lionfish,Scorpionfish to name but a few.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the bottom for Hermitcrabs,Octopus,Nudi's and sometype of eel that we were neverable to properly identify(bit like a snake eel).
Full penetration is possible but the internal walls are decaying quite considerably and it slts out VERY easily so good line work is a must.
The wreck it's self has no corals really but is covered in shells (except the port side) and the hull is a gd place to hunt for "different" Nudi's downside is the area you need to cover.
So if you ever go to the Perhentian Islands (northeast coast peninsular Malaysia) this is a must do dive site.
