One of the most picturesque wrecks in the Lagoon. The aquatic life is astounding (although some may see all this life getting in the way of a good wreck!!!!) The soft corals are amazing. Also the Shinkoku being a tanker doesnt have a lot of holds. Just in the aft section is a long corridor where there are lots of interesting artifacts. Operating table, bones, and other objects.

I have dedicated an entire page to the plants of the shinkoko!!!! So if you want a break from all these wrecks just click here
