2007 - 75’ long passenger ferry
The wreck now lies upright in 45-50ft of water near to Eastern Blue Cut with the top of the vessel rising to around 10ft, which means it is suitable for various levels of diver ability.
"What’s exciting about the Sea Venture is that while it’s only 75ft long it’s got four levels and lots of interesting areas, cabins and stairs for divers to penetrate and explore, more than the Hermes for example," he said.
"It’s also fully intact. Everyone likes to see a Hollywood set style wreck when they go diving, but people don’t always understand that shipwrecks are called wrecks for a reason - usually because they’ve been smashed to pieces!"
"It is the only wreck in the area," Mr. Burke continued, "so it could be visited as part of a two-dive package on a wreck and a reef.
"Having an extra destination will also take the pressure off some of the more historical wrecks."
The Sea Venture was donated to BIWI.
