United States Atlantic (North American coastal)This was an amazing wreck, sorry it was only one dive. Will have to go back many times to see the whole thing. It is cracked about 1/3 the way down the hull and is just an amazing site to me the new diver and very amature photographer.

Saint Lucia Caribbean SeaNice wreck to dive on not that deep and ideal for novices. The hold is open and easy to dive through and up into the bridge.
The site itself is pretty much the house reef of the Ti Kaye Village in St Lucia.
Lesleen was an old cargo vessle not sure whether it was sunk for a dive site (probably).
The only down side was the dive guide limited your down time.

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.

1 Ship wrecks
Karachi is known as a graveyard of Ships, which sank during the last 40 years and are still laying submerged beyond the Manora break water within a radius of six miles. They pose a potential threat to the visiting Vessels approaching KPT entrance buoy.
A short history of some of the ships followed: -
MV ABASIN- Pakistani flag vessel, MV Abbasin, had sunk after hitting the wreckage of a Panamanian carrier, MV Isebina, 1972. The wreckage of Isebina was removed by a foreign salvage company hired by the Government of Pakistan but the wreckage of MV Abbasin is still lying submerged four miles southeast of the Manora breakwaters.
Dynamic Venture-
27th July, 1972
Depth 8 meters
Dynamic Venture, sank in the Karachi waters in 1977 and is laying submerged northwest of the Manora breakwaters. This Panamanian ship was deliberately sunk by the crew of the vessel in protest against the non-payment of their wages by the owner. The crew was rescued by another foreign ship which also towed Dynamic Venture some distance away to her sub-aqua grave
MV Munir-
10th March, 1977
Depth 15 meters
MV Munir, belonged to a Gulf State (UAE), sunk in 1977, and is laying about a quarter mile southeast of the Manora breakwaters

MV Dia Hatim, is laying submerged eight miles south-east of the Manora breakwaters
MV Amir- laying on her port-side opposite Himalya, but is not considered dangerous for shipping traffic, and many more interesting wrecks inviting scuba divers to explore them.
As the topography near the Karachi is mostly sandy and gentle slope, these ships wrecks have attracted marine life over the period and formed artificial reef with lots of cnidarians, crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, worms, invertebrates.
Tsunami 2004
As you know healthy coral reefs provide their adjacent coasts with substantially more protection from destructive tsunami waves than do unhealthy or dead reefs, a Princeton University study suggests.
The tsunami 2004.Devastated the coastlines of the Indian Ocean, but in Pakistan the effect of tsunami were quit different it brought new spawn of different new species of corals from neighboring coral reefs, the mass migrated offspring started cloning and forming new reefs at incredible speed. During last two years over 30+ new species has been noticed so far and serious effort required observing and documenting this new Eon.
This will be golden opportunity for divers of the world to peep into the history of millions of years ago and witness some of the fact about the process of evaluation.
