Propellers Paradise

Propellers Paradise is one of those sites we always recommend for new wreck divers, and it's easy to see why. The name gives it away, but the star here really is the pair of bronze propellers, surprisingly intact and remarkably photogenic at a gentle 12 metres. You’ll find the wreck of the *Triton*, a fishing trawler that met its end many years ago, broken into several sections across the sandy seabed. What we love about this site is how accessible it feels. You can swim through the old wheelhouse frame, now just a skeletal outline, or poke around the cargo hold where schooling European seabass often hang out. Look closely at the hull plates, now softened by a tapestry of colourful sponges and anemones; we’ve often spotted small octopus tucked into crevices. The visibility here is usually pretty good, particularly in the mornings before any afternoon chop stirs things up. It’s a site that proves you don’t need extreme depths for a really satisfying wreck dive, perfect for building confidence before tackling something deeper.
