Bonawe Quarry

About this dive site

This dive site is located in a natural harbor featuring manmade structures alongside a quarry. The area holds historical interest, with the belief of two wrecks present; one identified as the Fore Derrick, a small fishing boat. To access the wreck, enter from the slipway and follow the mooring line, which rests at a depth of 5 meters. The wreck itself sits between 14 and 15 meters below the surface, offering ample space for exploration – specifically, you can explore the wheelhouse. Due to the bottom's gloopy mud, excellent buoyancy is recommended as it tends to lift and settle slowly. This dive could provide opportunities to observe Nudibranchs; a thornback ray was recently spotted here. On the harbor’s left side, a rocky reef area provides a less silt-prone alternative for exploration.
