The Elk

Plymouth is surrounded by wrecks of trawler come minesweepers requisitioned by The British Navy, and the ELK is a superb example. We don't dive this site so often, but will get some pictures and more info up soon.

Areas of interest

All around the remains of the hull you can see good shoals of fish.

Wreck Penetrations
Yes, but not very long at all.

Snagging Hazards
As with all wrecks there are things to cut hands and get gear caught on. Gloves are advised and caution should be used.

No Take Zone
All brass and goodies there was to take were pillaged a long time ago.

Life you could see
Plenty of Bib everywhere, congers still lurk in the holes.
