Scuba

The F2 was a German escort vessel that was later used in salvage operations on the main fleet. It now lies next to a large lifting barge, creating a fun and very easy shallow wreck site, perfect for a third dive of the day.

Features

A shallow site with two wrecks. The F2 is a WWI German escort boat, and the YC21 is a lifting barge that sank alongside it. Both are easy to explore and are a great dive for less experienced divers.
