MV Boelongan Nederland sits in the Mandeh marine tourism area, Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra. It is a Dutch cargo ship launched in 1915, about 73–74 m long. In 1942 it was bombed and sank. The map point is −1.201, 100.425.
The depth most often written for a tourist dive is 20–25 m. A survey that measured this ship writes 18–29 m. One local account puts it at about 30 m. All three are written here because all three have been published. Go by boat from the Carocok Tarusan jetty, about 15–30 minutes. Visibility is sometimes under 5 m. Do not take pieces from the ship.
Coral grows on the hull. Turtles and ornamental fish are around the ship. A finer species list for this wreck itself has not been published.
