MFV Helen
22m
MFV Helen was a wooden fishing trawler, which was sunk deliberately in 1990, being beyond viable economic repair.
Initially she was planned to be sunk just off the Seven Sisters, however due to a strong northerly current at the time she finally came to rest alongside the South Mole.
MFV Helen is found on a sandy seabed in 22 meters of water. She is 20 meters in length and 6 meters wide, home to a wide range of marine life typical of Gibraltarian dive sites. Great for wreck penetration dives and divers with a keen interest in photography due to the abundance of aquatic life and pleasing asthetics of the wreck itself.
What can be found on the site:
-
Octopus
-
Cuttlefish
-
Conger and Moray eels
-
Nudibranchs
-
Spider crabs and common lobster
-
Wide range of fish species
-
Great photo opportunities
This dive site is suitable for experienced divers due to the depth and the upredictable currents around the vicinity.
