Vietnamese Wreck chanto

Hidden beneath the waters off Pulau Tioman, Malaysia, the Cam Tu Wreck—often referred to by local divers as the Vietnamese Wreck—is a little-documented but fascinating underwater site. Lying at approximately 20–25 meters, the wreck is believed to be a modern vessel, possibly a Vietnamese fishing or utility boat, though no official records confirm its exact identity or circumstances of sinking.

Over time, the wreck has transformed into a thriving artificial reef, now colonized by corals, sponges, and dense marine life. Its fragmented structure, corroded hull plates, and remaining framework offer a compelling environment for exploration, photography, and documentation.

Unlike historically catalogued wrecks, chanto exists mainly through diver knowledge and oral transmission. Its name, origin, and story remain partly speculative—making it a site where exploration still matters. Each dive contributes to understanding its layout, condition, and ecological role.

This project aims to document, map, and visually preserve the Cam Tu wreck through structured dives, imagery, and spatial data—treating the site not as a legend, but as a living underwater structure worthy of careful observation and respect.
