The best scuba diving spots in Brunei Darussalam:

• The Cement Wreck ranges in depth from 8m down to a 32m sandy bottom. The wreck is encrusted in soft corals and feather stars and is home to massive shoals of swirling bait fish and many kinds of predators in search of lunch. The marine life on this site is abundant with many different species including Lion Fish , Cube box Fish, Moray Eels and schools of Bat Fish just to name a few.
• The American Wreck, the USS Salute AM 294, Admirable Class Minesweeper, lies broken in half at 30m and is home to many soft corals and schools of Yellow Tailed Barracuda.
• The Australian Wreck is complete, but collapsing in on itself, so visibility on the wreck is generally poor, adding to the wreck’s eerie feel. There is not a lot of coral growth on the wreck, but it still attracts an abundance of bait fish and various pelagics.
• The Blue Water Wreck is home to big schools of Barracuda, White Tip Sharks and many other pelagics cruising around such as Trevallies, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel and Tuna.
• Pelong Rocks are a tiny outcrop of rocks just offshore of Brunei. Home to a light beacon and nesting Sea Eagles on the surface, and plenty of corals and fish below.
