About this dive site

This dive site presents the wreck of the Blackadder, a Norwegian sailing cargo ship (Cliper) that tragically sank in 1905. The vessel met its end near a pier where it was anchored during a storm. Measuring 71 meters in length, the Blackadder now rests on the seabed, leaning against nearby reefs and parallel to the coastline. This site offers an intriguing dive for those interested in maritime history and exploring a sunken ship.
