a completely intact 22000 registered ton Russian cruise ship which sank in 1987. She lies in Port Gore, a sheltered bay, on her starboard side in about 35m with her bows to the E. We spent the night at anchor nearby. Many people rave about this wreck, but to be honest in the 2-3m visibility we had one wreck is pretty much like another. Frank says that the best time to dive her is September and October, when the visibility is much better. There are two other wrecks Lastingham and Rangitoto on Cape Jackson at the E entrance to Port Gore, both well smashed, and exposed to wind and swell
