The HMS Repulse was deployed to South East Asia as part of the Z-Force, in the battle with Japan and is a real World War II history wreck. She sailed from Singapore on 8th December 1941, alongside the MHS Prince of Wales and 4 other destroyers to intercept the Japanese invasion craft headed for the coast of Malaysia.
On the 10th December, she sustained heavy attacks by bombers and torpedo aircraft. Two bombs caused severe damage and fires; subsequent torpedo attacks resulted in 4 fatal hits to her, she sunk within 2 minutes; over 500 crew perished.
She now sits at the bottom of the South China Sea, just off from Tioman in about 55 meters of water; and lying on her starboard side and shrouded in fishing nets.
Seven Skies is one of the world's first super tankers at 262m long and 90,000 tones; she was built in Sweden. She sunk in 1969, due to an explosion east of Tioman near Anambas Islands. She sits upright in 64m of water to the bottom, the deck at 45m with the top of the funnel only at about 18 to 20m. There are many swimthroughs, caused by the explosion that sunk her. Visibility is usually good and you may see the resident whale shark.
