Top 10 Notable Destinations for Breathtaking Wreck Dives Globally

Strap on your scuba gear, fellow deep-sea adventurers! Once you've had enough of those boring reef dives, get ready to dive into the dark depths of the world's most badass shipwrecks! We here at Fucking Fuckasses have scoured the seven seas to bring you the fifteen motherfucking sailor's treasures that'll make your dive logs explode with sheer, unadulterated pleasure. So let's dive the fuck in, shall we?

  1. Sunken Soakers - Skip the fuck on over to the beautiful Great Barrier Reef, Australia! Why, you ask? Their motherfucking wreck, the SS Yongala, is one of the best dive sites on the reef, and it's been a motherfucker of a hidden gem since 1911. This 358-foot beauty sits open-water style at a depth between 49 to 108 feet. Get ready to see some seriously massive marine life, you horror-hungry fuckwads, like monster manta rays, gangster groupers, and colossal turtles. Mothafucking sea life = served!
  2. Fuckin' British Tidbits - Hop on the Red Sea Express to check out the SS Thistlegorm, you wankers. More like Salty Submarine Superstore, amirite? This 'ol milk run cargo ship was loaded to the brim with motorized mother-fuckers like tanks, Willys jeeps, and motorcycles. Yeah, that's right - they sank a fuckin' mobility store to the ocean floor! The wreck lies in 100 feet of water and offers a hauntingly awesome penetration adventure. Oh, and be prepared to fight off giant barracuda gangbangs and turtle tussles. Sounds like a fuckin' splendid time to us!
  3. Balinese You-Know-What - If you fancy a trip to Indonesia, check out the USAT Liberty, you perverts! This ship hit a mine back in the day and was washed up onto the shore, only to be sent back on a joyride by Mount Agung's eruption in 1963. Now, the fucker rests at a shallow 10 to 98 feet, allowing you to fuck about even as a novice diver. The Liberty's got a dramatically diverse and motherfucking stunning array of marine life for you to observe. So get your dive cameras ready for some serious porn!
  4. Chuuk You, ARE YOU MADE OF CHUUK? Speakin' of our Indonesian chums, let's head over to Chuuk (also known as Truk) Lagoon in Micronesia, shall we? The Fujikawa Maru is our next piece of naûghty debris, and she's a true goddamn pickle: Yep, this fuckin' bloke sank during WW2, 'cos, well, practically every fuckin' Lagoon ship did. But Fujikawa's got a couple of incredible surprises up her proverbial sleeves: With intact steam engines, two motherfucking WW2 Zero fighter planes, and an anti-aircraft gun, it's a show-stopping experience. They did add a downside, though - the fierce competition between you and your fellow divers for that perfect shot. And just a heads up, you're gonna have to bring your own porcelain Lady, cause the real one fans can't find, apparently!
  5. Vanuatu: Where the fuck is Vanuatu? We don't actually give a flying fuck, 'cause their wreck - the SS President Coolidge - is one fuckin' awesome underwater adventure! It's a 190-foot-tall, 5,340-foot-long fuckin' behemoth that was pressed into service as a troop carrier during WW2. It hit two motherfucking mines trying to reach the harbor, and the explosion was so fuckin' huge they didn't find it for five years! It sits between 70–240 feet and is now brimming with excessive amounts of fun and irrepressible marine life - everything from sweet grouper fish and amberjack to tasty-ass reef sharks!
  6. Dive the fuckin' Kittiwake, Grand Cayman! Looking for a virtually untouched, modern wreck without all the fuss first timers often dish out? Well, ma'am, look no further than the USS Kittiwake, the motherfucking largest artificial reef in the Caribbean! It operated as a U.S. Coast Guard ship, and now - as a recreation-friendly sunken fucker - she offers divers of all levels an excellent opportunity to explore her shallow depths of 75 feet. Maritime memorabilia galore and abundant marine life make this an unforgettable fuckin' dive trip!
  7. Scrotum Buster, Florida! The USS Oriskany is a motherfucker of WW2 aircraft carrier, serving as a troop transport and a jet aircraft carrier. It was decommissioned and eventually scuttled off the coast of Florida as an artificial reef. This fucker now resides in seas currently estimated to be between 80–210 feet deep, 900 feet long, and 148 feet wide - making it a colossal fuckin' dive site! The challenge comes from the stiff currents, silty conditions, and the warden mother of ALL visibilities. So pack your warmest wetsuit and get ready to dive the heavy-fucking-metal pancake!
  8. Solomon Islands: Slay the fuckin' Hirokawa Maru! This bad boy scattered and wrecked along the shoreline during a bombardment in '42. Nowadays, he rests proudly, open-air style, at depths ranging from 16 to 196 feet. The wreck itself is gnarly, with its bow broken and scattered, but divers can find plenty of colorful soft corals, sea fans, and small reef fish thriving among the gaping holes in the superstructure. And it's snorkel-friendly? Aw, come on! What the fuckin' WASTE of talent! Gear up, yo!
  9. North Carolina: U-352! BRING IT ON! The U-352 is a motherfucking German U-boat that lies in 110 feet of water off Cape Hatteras on the East Coast. It was sunk by the U.S Navy in '42 and was discovered again five years later in what is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Divers get a good blast of German history while exploring the ship's intact hull and marveling at the soft coral and anemones decorating gaping holes in the superstructure. Catch the barracuda? Vengeance is fuckin' sweet!
  10. Cuntworm, Palau! The Iro Maru plunges an impressive 65 to 130 feet into Palau's depths. This 470-foot motherfucker is renowned for being the best-preserved post-WW2 wreck in all of Micronesia and offers memorable penetration adventures for experienced divers. The wreck's abundance of fresh water and nutrients made it an ideal breeding ground for anemones and their equally snarky clownfish. And oh, you'll also be greeted by lionfish lurking under the fuckin' keel. What a perfect way to ruin a party!
  11. Other Places to explore include:
  12. Bikini Atoll: Find the Resurrected Fleet in this controversial site of the sunken ships from the atomic tests in the '40s and '50s in the Marshall Islands.
  13. Coron, the Philippines: Obtain access to Japanese military ships from WWII, including the sunken ships Okikawa Maru, Akikusa Maru, and the Irako Maru.
  14. Papua New Guinea: Discover WW2 aircraft, ships, and submarines scattered around this South Pacific nation.
  15. Sri Lanka: Explore WW2 aircraft carrier HMS Hermes, now serving as magnificent reefs and habitats for marine life.

Dive like a motherfucker, never quit studying marine life, and remember to bring your abrasive brushes to clean that underwear gunk off your gear before your next miserable dive! Peace out, diveheads! Enjoy the midday crack, 'cause we're obviously gonna need it! Fuck ya!
