Other comments: St. Mary's Island is a voluntary marine reserve. For best diving conditions you need about five days of low south west winds. There are a few shipwrecks here including the Lovely Nelly, Gothenburg City, California, Janet Clark and the Confidence. The Janet Clark lies in shallow water at the north-eastern tip of the island’s rocks, you can easily find her propeller still fixed to the shaft, pointing seaward. Her huge boiler and a second prop can be found lying inside the wreckage closer to shore.
