Japanese Wreck
At a distance of 8km from the dive center is the Japanese Wreck, a wooden boat that lies in 8 to 10m of depth and 1 to 2m from the surface. Rich coral growth on the wreck has attracted sea life all around. A beautiful dive which sometimes can proof more challenging due to strong current.
In 2009, a Japanese shipwreck was discovered off the coast of Amed, Bali in Indonesia. The ship was later identified as the Kikukawa Maru, a Japanese cargo ship that sank during World War II.
The Kikukawa Maru was built in 1937 and was used by the Japanese military to transport supplies and troops throughout Southeast Asia during the war. In February 1942, the ship was attacked by Allied forces and was badly damaged. The crew attempted to beach the vessel on the coast of Bali, but it ultimately sank in the shallow waters off Amed.
For many years, the wreck remained hidden beneath the surface of the water, but it was eventually discovered by local fishermen. Since then, the site has become a popular destination for scuba divers who are interested in exploring the remnants of the ship and the marine life that has taken up residence there.
Today, the Kikukawa Maru is considered to be an important historical artifact and a reminder of the impact that World War II had on the region. It has also become an important part of the local tourism industry, attracting visitors from around the world who are interested in exploring Bali's rich cultural and historical heritage.
