Nanette and Barnard Castle Dive

 

On this trip we will visit the Nanette site on Race Rocks and the Barnard Castle in Pilot Bay. The Nanette was a wooden sailing barque that was wrecked on Race Rocks December 27, 1860. It eventually drifted off leaving much of its cargo on the bottom. The Barnard Castle was a coal collier that struck Race Rocks and sank in Pilot Bay in 1886. We will continue our radial survey on the Nanette. We want to check kelp growth on the Barnard Castle since we did photogrammetry. There may be some current during the first dive, but we will be using a live boat for pickup. We will depart from Pedder Bay Cost: $100.00 per person. Limit 7 divers.
