About The Emily S Wreck

One of the many secrets of Portland is its great diving experience. Explore the fascinating caves and colourful sponge gardens, guide your way around the beautiful kelp forests and be mesmerised with wall drops of up to 70 metres. Enjoy the artificial shipwrecks of 'Saxon' and 'Emily', deliberately sunk to form an artificial reef or enjoy one of the many other great diving sites such as, Bridgewater Bay, Nunn's Bay, Southwest Bay, Lee Breakwater, Lighthouse Reef or Minerva Reef. 'The Emily S' lies perfectly upright between two reefs 350 metres off Lawrence Rocks. PDS dive club scuttled her on 1st September, 1991. She is an ex fishing trawler 30 metres in length and lies in 24 metres on the bottom. If you have wreck qualifications, this is a great penetration dive. It can also be dived at night. There is an abundance of marine life in and around the 'Emily S', and the reefs are a photographers paradise. This is a boat dive taking approximately 20 minutes travel time from the harbour.
