Type:
Boat – launch from Mount Batten
Depth:
Max. 23m
Difficulty:
Just in range of Ocean Divers however this can change with the tides
Description:
The bow is mainly in tact with the ship becoming more disintegrated the further back. Lots to look at and a really nice dive, usually pretty light on the wreck, however it is easy to swim inside the steelwork of it without realising (there is not steel plate overhead, just the ribbing)
Sea Life:
John Dory, Wrasse, Pollack, Lobsters, Congers
Hazards:
Very easy to enter the wreck, giving an overhead environment, take care and look up occasionally
Conditions:
This wreck can be dived at any state of the tide, however it is sometimes too rough to get the boat out to it (same as the Scylla)
