Diving the wreck of the SS Nord, off the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia. Built in 1900, the SS Nord sank in 1915 in Munroe Bight after striking the uncharted Needle Rock between Cheverton and Hippolyte Rocks, and now lies in 40m of water. The SS Nord was 270 ft in length, 1057 tonnes, with a single screw powered by a triple expansion twin boiler engine of 240HP. She was carrying 12,000 cases of benzine (motor spirit) when she sank. All hands survived. Filmed by Mick Baron.
Very cool, I better get my deep diving cert done before I come next year.
