About This Dive Spot
The Countess of Erne is a paddle steamer constructed in the late 1800s. In its later years, it served as a barge for transporting coal to battleships in the harbor. In 1935, it was dislodged from its moorings and subsequently wrecked against the breakwater, where it remains today. The wreck is situated upright on a silty seabed, reaching a maximum depth of 16 meters. Divers can explore the empty holds, swimming in and out of the structure. This site is suitable for training and exploration.
