The Srikandi Speedboat Wreck is a newly sunk speedboat lying on a black sand slope off Amed. The slope above it is a muck dive in its own right, and the wreck itself, with around 20 seats still inside, sits deep enough to make the dive a deep one.
Also known as Srikandi Wreck.
Where it is and how deep

The dive
Divers enter from the beach in front of the Srikandi restaurant onto a black sandy slope worth exploring as a muck dive on its own. Following the slope deeper, the wreck appears at about 25 m: a speedboat with maybe 20 seats inside, lying between 25 and 35 m.
