Tabularasa Wreck, Kepulauan Seribu

Kepulauan Seribu

Tabularasa is on the east side of Pramuka Island. This was a fisheries training ship, 30 m long, 10 m wide, and 9 m high. In 1979 a large wave drove it onto a reef, and the ship sank at 25–33 m. The map lists about 27–35 m. The shape is still intact compared with many other wrecks in this chain.

On the ship there are barracuda, grouper, snapper, transparent shrimp, and schooling transparent fish. On the slope above, from about 2 m to 18 m, there are massive coral, Acropora, and fans. The bottom is sand. The current is sometimes moderate, and the water over the wreck is sometimes murky. Go by boat, about 15–20 minutes from Pramuka. The wreck section is for divers who are already comfortable at that depth. Newer divers stay on the slope, to about 18 m.
