About Kanshin Maru

This dive site consists of a 2000 ton cargo ship which sunk on 17 January 1944 and now lies at a depth of 40 meters. This is an excellent dive site for the advanced scuba divers and you can find large ammunition along with a truck. Lots to explore, but due to the depth you may want to return a second or third time to take it all in.
