The Smit Madura is a commercial diving support tug that foundered in the late 1990s after being overtaken by a large following swell. She originally had her diving gear and recompression chamber intact, but they have since been salvaged. Nonetheless, she remains a beautiful dive with her superstructure easily accessbile
