Glenelg Shire

Australia

About 350 metres east of Lawrence rock on the sheltered side lies the Emily S. A purpose sunk wreck she lays beautifully upright on her keel in 24 metres between two rocky reefs. She was scuttled on the 1st September 1991 by the PDS dive club. The Emily S is an old fishing trawler 30 metres in length. Although 20 years old she is still in great intact condition and is a great dive for beginers to experience some easy penetration dives on. Often has a family of Weedy Seadragons near the prop.

Access to the site can only be done via 30min boat trip from Portland Harbour. The GPS mark should be right on but use your sounder in general area to locate wreck as will show easily. Finding a dive charter can be difficult and is mainly dived from private vessels. Site is on the lee side of Lawrence Rocks but is still very weather dependant.
