    The Simson, a dredger vessel, rests upright in 22 metres, making for a straightforward wreck dive. It’s mostly intact, offering a decent penetration for those with the right training and equipment. Visibility here can vary, but we often see some decent-sized cod sheltering in the holds and around the collapsed superstructure. This site is a solid pick for divers keen on wrecks without extreme depth or current.
