The Sophie Rickmers Wreck sits in 55m of water in Pria Laot bay. The shallowest part is the wheel house at 37m so this dive is not for beginners. She was a German cargo steam ship built in 1920 and sunk by her own crew on 1 May 1940 to prevent confiscation by the British navy. Also in Pria Loat bay are underwater hot springs where sulphur steam produces bubbles.
