FAQ

What is the history of the Cement Wreck?

The Cement Wreck is the MV Tung Hwang, a 92-meter-long, 15-meter-wide cement carrier that sank on September 25, 1980, after hitting Samarang Bank east of Labuan Island. The vessel was carrying a cargo of cement when it went down, settling upright on the seabed at approximately 30 meters depth. The wreck is now one of four major wreck dives in Labuan's waters.

What certification do I need to dive the Cement Wreck?

Advanced Open Water certification is recommended as the wreck sits in 30 meters of water with the main deck at 19 meters and the wheelhouse at 14 meters. Open Water divers can appreciate the upper sections of the wreck but will have limited bottom time at the deeper areas. Wreck specialty certification is recommended for anyone wanting to explore interior passages.

How do I get to the Cement Wreck from Labuan?

The wreck lies approximately 13 kilometers east of Labuan Island, near Kuraman Island. The boat ride from Labuan town takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Several dive operators on Labuan Island offer daily trips to the Cement Wreck, often combined with one of the other wreck dives in the area. Labuan itself is accessible by ferry from Kota Kinabalu in Sabah or by air from Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu.
