Victory Wreck, Cargo ship wreck in North Malé Atoll, Maldives
The Victory Wreck rests at a depth of 35 meters, stretching 80 meters across the ocean floor near Hulhulé Island.
The Singapore-bound cargo vessel crashed into Hulhulé Island's house reef in 1981, resulting in its complete submersion southwest of Male International Airport.
The wreck serves as a national heritage site for the Maldives, drawing international diving enthusiasts to explore its coral-covered structure.
Diving expeditions to the Victory Wreck operate from December through May, with water temperatures maintaining between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius.
Marine creatures including trevallies, turtles, groupers, and batfish inhabit the wreck's framework, which has transformed into an artificial reef system.
