This wreck is for experienced deep and wreck divers. She is an 84 metre long cargo ship that sank in rough seas in August 2009 on her way from Myanmar to Vietnam. She sank close to Khao Lak in 40 metres of water. The Royal Thai Navy have surveyed the wreck and opened her up to divers. She settled on the sea bed on her starboard side spilling her load, 1200 tonnes of teak wood which is still on the sea floor.

Despite the short amount of time that this wreck has been in the water there is a surprising amount of sea life and coral growth on her. The real fun in diving the sea chart 1 however is in exploring her many levels. There are places that are easy and safe to enter with lots of light penetration. There are other areas that are only suitable for technical divers.
