Practical

Position approx: derived as 0.45 nm due south of the Plimmyri pier, where Sailing Issues says an isolated-danger buoy marks the wreck; use the buoy. Waterhoppers dives it every Sunday, meeting at the car park by the bay at 10 am; a shallower qualifying dive comes first. Life: Mediterranean triggerfish, jacks, moray eels, bream, octopus. Do not anchor on or near the wreck.
