Tabularasa is a well-preserved shipwreck off the eastern side of Pramuka Island and one of the best wrecks in the area. It lies between 20 and 33 m, which makes it a deep dive for experienced divers, with a reef slope in the shallower water above.

Also known as Tabularasa shipwreck.

The dive

The wreck sits between 20 and 33 m, so the whole wreck section of the dive is spent deep, and the water over it is sometimes murky. The reef slope in the shallower water above the wreck is also worth a visit.
