Shinkoku Maru

Soft corals, sponges and sea fans cover the deck and the superstructure, and the bridge carries three engine telegraphs. The ship's sick bay with an operating table and medicine bottles is a well-known stop, along with tiled baths in the crew quarters. The engine room can be entered through a torpedo hole near the stern, although divers should know that human remains lie inside. Reef sharks are often present, and the wreck is regarded as an outstanding night dive.
