Alex Van Opstel (Wreck)

★★★★☆ (4)

This wreck was a Belgian Passenger liner sunk by a mine on 15 Sept 1939. The depth is around 27m. Strong currents exist in the area so it must be dived during slack tide! The stern section broke off and is now located around 100m from the rest of the wreck.

Conger eels kive under the girders, crabs, lobster, and various shoals of fish are abundant too. The bottom consists of sand and gravel and viz can be affected by strong currents. It can get quite dark at times.
