Betsy Is Wreck Graveyard
Experience: experienced open water
The ships gravyard lies 100m west of
Little Betsy Island and can be detected
easily with an echo sounder. 3 wrecks
lie almost toughing each other, SS
William Cowper, a 170 foot steel
dredge, SS Macquarie, 123 foot steam
dredge and ANM Barge can all be seen
from a carefully laid anchor line. The
wrecks sit on a muddy bottom at 20
meters and are still reasonably in tact.
Experienced wreck dives can penetrate
these safely. They attract a lot of
marine life and are a great night dive.
