JOTA - Cornwall & Devon

JOTA is a yacht, sunk to 48 metres, making it a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts. We've found it a bit broken up, so penetration isn't really on the cards, but the overall shape is still discernible. Expect to see plenty of pollack and conger eels making their homes in the wreckage. It’s a good deep training dive or a quiet bimble for those who enjoy solitary wreck exploration.
