The Claris

There are two parts to the Claris, a 12m long boat and a wheel­house from another boat. The fish are abun­dant and its quite an inter­est­ing spot. It seems very pop­u­lar with the anglers too. The wrecks lie in 25m of water which means you don’t really have much time to try and find it if you hap­pen to anchor nowhere near the thing (as we found out on one rather unevent­ful “sand” dive!).

The gurnard perch cover the sandy bot­tom, so you really need to be care­ful when set­tling down on the sand since they are quite well cam­ou­flaged. There are bullseyes every­where in quite large schools, and plenty of mag­pie perch, moon­lighters and the occa­sional snap­per. We even man­aged to find a 2m wobbe­gong swim­ming around us.
