Hersogin Cecilie

One of the last of the Great Grain Racers, wrecked in 1936.  Today she makes a superb artificial reef, brimming with aquatic life.  Lying in a maximum of 10 meters and in very sheltered waters, she makes an excellent dive for all.

Soudan

Sunk in 1887, this French Steamer now  lies in approximately 22 meters of water.  The stern section is intact and her boilers are home to some large conger eels !
