Description: The Torpedo wreck was lost in 1973. She is a small cargo vessel, around 60m long, and was carrying large teak logs which the Thais originally believed to be torpedos.

She is upright with the top of her superstructure at 42m, amidships around 42m, and the sand around 52-55m depending on the sand shifting.

Marine Life Highlights: Lots of trevelly, barracuda, tuna and snapper around the wreck.

Corals: This wreck is deep - mostly filter feeding soft coral species can been seen around the wreck.

Other: The depth makes her perfect for BSAC depth-experience dives and tech diver training. Visibility on the Torpedo tends to be better than the Unicorn Wreck due to it's more remote location.
