Chung Cheng Wreck (LSD-191)

Also known as: LSD-191 · LSD-191 Wreck · 中正艦 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan))

LSD-191 Chung Cheng served in several conflicts, was once used by Chiang Kai-shek to review exercises, and later became a training ship before it was sunk as an artificial reef. Its hull is large and well preserved, with the structure visible from about 20 m below the surface and the seabed at about 48 m. Corals now cover much of the hull and fish gather around it. The structure is complex, so divers must stay with their guide and should not enter the holds at will. Dive centres run trips mainly between January and May, require advanced certification, nitrox and at least 50 dives, and also use the wreck for sidemount and technical training.
