Click to play a short video taken on the SS Lochgarry
.
A troop transport ship the SS Lochgarry foundered in bad weather and eventually sank off the coast of Rathlin Island in January 1942 and lies at a depth of 34m.
Much of the colour spectrum is lost at this depth and a strobe light should ideally have been used.
This explains why the video appears very green in colour.
However, the viewer can see from this short video the large amount of marine life on the wreck and the fish that can be seen are Pollock, Wrasse and Dogfish.

The video clip above shows some of the diving during a trip to Cyprus at Easter 2009
when the club dived the 'Zenobia'.
The Zenobia is a 10,800 ton cargo ferry that sank on it's maiden voyage from Sweden to Syria in 1980 as a result of a malfunction with the computer system controlling the ballast tanks.
She lies on her port side in 40 metres about one kilometre out of Larnaca harbour.
Much of the clip above however shows a dive at Green Bay a short distance up the coast from Ayia Napa.
This was a very scenic dive and includes footage of some of our divers feeding the fish.
The water temperature was 20 degrees! |
