About Reliance
Reliance is a shallow wreck site beside Christ Hill in Barra, with boilers, a steering wheel, and a propeller blade still visible in the sand. It is a sheltered home for sardines and reef fish, and it works best as an easy shore dive for relaxed exploration rather than a deep or current-heavy plan. The wreck is easy to read, with enough structure for a slow circuit and straightforward buoyancy control around the buried metal.
