Lat & Long: 55^o54’19N 04^o52’52W (N55.90528 W04.88111) Estimated position of wreck. TBC 

Site entry/exit: There are two slips at the site. The Northern slip is pretty broken up but extends further into the water. The newer Southern slip is best for finding the wreck. Enter the water on the left of the slip as you are facing the water. Water is shallow (3-4m) for quite a distance 

Underwater directions: In general the sea bed is sandy so even on a bad day there will be some visibility. As mentioned it stays shallow (3-4m) for a good 30-40m (guess) from the shore depending on the tide. There is then a steep drop of which starts to bottom out around 10-12m and continues at a much shallower angle down to 18m+ but never been deeper. Not known to be worth it. Sea bed gets siltier at the bottom of the slope.There is a small wreck thought to be a cabin cruiser. The cabin has collapsed but the hull and a very small part of the forward deck is still intact. The wreck is maybe 5-7m in length and sitting on it starboard side. The bow points approx 80deg. There is usually some good life on the wreck. A lobster and a conger have been known to inhabit it. Scorpion fish have also been seen. Shoals of fish (Pollack) can be found during the summer.To find the wreck head out on a bearing of 270deg down to 13m then turn right on 180deg until you come to the wreck. Heading home from the wreck just follow 90deg
