About this dive site

This dive site is named for the wreck of the Brunswick, a historical wooden shipwreck located on the seabed. The maximum depth reaches approximately 6 meters, with an average depth of around 4.5 meters. The bottom consists of fine sand and the wreckage lies at an angle of about 45 degrees to the shoreline. A significant portion of the wreck is buried beneath the sand due to its age and the effects of water. This site protects a historical archaeological area, so disturbance is prohibited. Divers can find remnants such as the keelson (part of the rudder attachment), iron knees, and even pieces of sandalwood within the wreckage. Photography is best achieved with wide-angle lenses; natural light is generally sufficient for surface shots, while a flash can enhance color in close-up work. The area supports a variety of invertebrates and fish, often found amongst the kelp and other seaweeds that have grown over the wreck.
