About this dive site
This dive site presents the wreck of the Kent, a cargo ship that sank in July 1978 following a fire. The crew abandoned ship, and the vessel now rests on the seabed approximately 40 meters below the surface. Over three decades have passed since the sinking, during which time the wreck has become heavily colonized by diverse marine life. This dive is recommended for experienced divers who are comfortable with deep-water conditions. Due to its size and the depth of the site, a single dive will not allow exploration of the entire vessel.
