EAST TANGAT GUNBOAT    

The origin of this coastal vessel is not known.

Believed to be either a tugboat or an anti-submarine craft.Attacked and sunk on 24 September 1944 by US Task Force 38 The Wreck is 40m (132ft) long, 500 gross tons, it lies listing to starboard down a sandy slope, with the stern at 22m (72ft) and the top of the bow at 5m (15ft), pointing 320 degrees (compass bearing). This small wreck looks as though it has seen some recent salvage work. The water is mostly shallow enough for snorkellers, good for novices and photographers and for relaxation between dives.
