Just a little update:
They held a ceremony on the 26, but the ship hasn't been sunk yet.
The Ship was supposed to go to Bang Bao yesterday, but as of right now I don't know if the did it.
The new date will probably be in mid November, which means we can hopefully dive it, in December.
We arrive on 11th November for 2 weeks, so doesn't look like we will get to dive it - what a shame. Oh well, just hope the weather has improved by then.
Thanks for that, Chris

The last couple of days the diving has been really improving, and by the time you arrive it should be really good.
 
Finally the wreck has been sunken! It happened the 22. of November..
The location is roughly a mile away from Hin Luk Bat, and it is already stable enough to dive on.
But all the dive schools are suspended from diving there for the next 5 days or so, until some local disagreements are settled.

Here is the video of the ship being sunk:
