About This Dive Spot

The HMT Lancer 2 is an armed trawler that sank in 1918 following a collision with another ship. The wreck is situated at depths ranging from 21 to 28 meters, varying with the tide, and is accessible exclusively by boat. The vessel remains upright, with its bow rising approximately 4 meters above the seabed, and is adorned with plum rose anemones. As divers proceed towards the stern, they will encounter the winch and the boiler area, which are notable features of the wreck.
