The Jacquin II being lowered into the lake back in 2003...
The Jacquin II provides the perfect environment for wreck training.
As the years have gone by, the Jacquin has slowly changed colour!
Take you time peering into the many holes on the upper deck.
With no roof in place, divers can enter the wheel house with ease.
The wheel house can be entered safely via a large hole in the roof.
Jacquin II Boat Wreck
20m-16m
What diving trip would be complete without the obligatory dive on a
sunken ship wreck! Whilst we can't promise you'll find sunken treasure
within her hold, we're sure you'll find a dive on the Jacquin II to be
an exhilerating experience! Lying in 20m of water, the Jacquin II is a
15m long wooden cabin cruiser that provides a perfect introduction to
wreck diving for less experienced divers.
The wreck offers a number of features worth investigating including the
wheel house area which can be accessed via a whole in the roof. By
dropping down through the roof, you can explore the wreck's innards in
safety. The wreck has two shot lines tied off onto hand rails on the
bow and stern, allowing easy ascent and descent for those still finding
their way around the quarry.
Just
a short surface swim out from the quayside, the Jacquin II makes a
perfect first dive of the day for those who want to stay within the 18m
depth range. Lying just a short distance from the Wheelhouse, divers
can visit both attractions in a single dive with ease. Once you hit
your minimum air limit, make a leisurely ascent back to the quayside by
heading due south...
SAFETY FIRST - Although the Jacquin can be penetrated
beyond the wheel house, we strongly recommend that divers do not
attempt to do so. Be safe - look but do not enter.
