Kingston

In 1881 the Kingston (a British iron screw steamer) was on its way to Aden when it struck the reef at Shag Rock and sank. The wreck is now a fascinating dive with the exposed iron skeleton of the ship covered by corals. Be aware that currents here can be particularly strong. Depth: 5m to 17m. Rating: beginner to advanced. Access: boat.
