Pill Box sits off Mansinam Island, Manokwari. It is a Japanese ammunition cargo ship from the war, 60–65 m long, lying on its starboard side. The map point is −1.1631, 134.20898. Some lists mix the length of the ship with the depth: 9–18 m is the dive depth, not the hull length.
The decks are about 9–18 m. The map lists 10–30 m. Because it is shallow, this site is often used by a diver who has just finished a course. Go by boat from Manokwari, about 10–15 minutes. Do not take pieces from the ship.
The hull is covered in soft coral and sponges. Small fish are on the growth. A finer species list for this ship itself has not been published.
