Believed to be the wreck of H.M.S Cricket, a World War 1 River Gun Boat. The wreck is 65 metres long with a beam of 13 metres and lies in 30 metres of water. The crystal clear clarity means that the dive boat is still visible from the bottom.

A very popular dive site. We usually start and finsh the dive through a blow hole which leads to an underwater playground of caves, tunnels and pituresque scenes of bubble as they escape from the rocks and tunnels. This is a magical dive to remember. Maximum depth is 16 metres.

Don your equipment at the Fisherman's Chapel and follow the steps down to the entry/exit point at the mouth of the cave. Here, a ceremony is held each year to bless the sea and ask for the safety of the local fishermen. Just off the cave, the sea bed drops to approximately 30 metres. Follow the wall and choose your own depth. The dive ends with a swim through a small cave to the dive exit point. A variety of marine life can be seen here, even turtles!.
