A freighter covered in coral on the south coast
The Jane Sea (also called Jane C) is a 170-foot cargo ship that was deliberately sunk in 1988 to create an artificial reef. It lies on the south coast near Barcadera.
Over the years the wreck has become covered in gorgonians and orange cup coral. Visibility is often good, making it a rewarding dive for intermediate divers.
