Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Union Bay Wreck

Easy to find, easy to access and when you are done the dive shop across the street will fill your tank for FREE. Union Bay is home to a 100 ft wreck. The wreck is marked with a buoy and the entry point is the breakwater. The wreck has been down a long time so there is lots of life including octopus & ling cod. This area was once a major port for the loading of coal for steamships, many strange and wonderful artifacts have been found. There are picnic tables and a large propeller on display on the breakwater.

Drive to Union Bay boat ramp and park in front of the Large Propeller. Gear up at the picnic tables then walk to the end of the short breakwater. Enter the water and at the end of the break water there is a float attached to a rope that is tied off to the wreck - you can not miss it. The wreck is 100ft long and covered in sea life, including many large fish and a large octopus.
