"It's just an old fishing boat not worth diving" Is that so.


Most of our time is devoted to hunting for old shipwrecks but occasionally we digress. The Rowella sank in May of this year and not long after she went down we located her with sidescan. I thought divers would be all over her during the summer when the position became known but imagine our surprise when in September looking for a photo opportunity Simon and Jason Brown were able to descend to an untouched wreck. The images across the deck and from inside the wheelhouse are very eerie and I defy anyone to say that this old fishing boat isn’t a magnificent sight in her new underwater world. The BSAC magazine Scuba features the Rowella this month and a nice piece by Simon Brown.
