This 126 meter long merchant vessel was built in 1940 and was commandeered during World War II by the Navy.On the 6th of October 1941 she was anchored behind Shab Ali while planning to head to North Africa to provide British troops with cargo,she was then attacked by a German aircraft and sank. She now lies on a sandy sea floor at a depth of 30 meters and it's highest point being at a depth of 18 meters.The cargo which the ship was transporting is still intact in some cases and consists of various ammunitions as well as even some trucks and motorbikes. There is some current around the wreck and visibility isn't very good so this dive should be done by the more experienced divers.The fish life is great here though with Barracudas,Jacks,Batfish,Surgeonfish and more
