WRECK HISTORY...
Built in 1921, this tanker was sunk on August 18, 1953 to serve as a training site for Navy combat swimmers.
The boat split into 3 parts. The stern and center section rest on a sandy bottom, while the bow tipped over further out on the other side of a rocky outcrop.
FAUNA AND FLORA:
You're sure to come across numerous pink planarians, groupers and dozens of tricolored and Cantabrian dories.
WE LOVE :
- the dories
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS :
- Location: east of the 2 frères rocks, 100 m from the shore (approximate GPS coordinates)
- Dimensions: 55 meters long and 10 meters wide
- Level of difficulty: medium
- Diving: Level 2 and above
- Comments: very exposed to winds (Mistral and East) and currents.
