The '�Anchor Wreck'�, a small wooden boat, is so called because of the large, encrusted anchor which still lies about 6 to 8 metes from the surface. The original name and circumstances of the wreck are unknown. In order to find the wreck once under the water one needs to follow the anchor chain down the steep slope to a depth of 33 meters, where the coral gives way to sand. At the bottom of the slope one finds another anchor encrusted in coral. At this point it is easy to see the first few timbers of the wreck as they are dark against the sand. One can also see sheets of copper and brown ceramic bottles (some of the ship's cargo) lying in piles. Some of the wreckage, covered in gorgonians, protrudes from the sand. If you follow the wall and overhangs in a westerly direction for about 6 to 10 meters you find a perfect spot for an extended safety stop.
