Based at the very cosy and secluded Lermontov Lodge in Port Gore, only 5-10 minute by boat to the Mikhail Lermontov. The Lermontov lies in 38m of water and sits on its starboard side. Access to the wreck starts at 12-15 meters and you will be blown away by the size of the wreck. Most of the diving is done between 15 and 25 meters.

We are also looking at diving the Lastingham Wreck and Gannet Point while we up in Port Gore .The Lastingham was a steel sailing ship lost in northerly gale in 1883, along with 18 crew and passengers including the skipper, his wife and young child. She lies in 8 to 20 meters of water, a fantastic wreck and reef dive, with plenty of fish life including some very big crayfish. Gannet Point, lovely shallow reef dive with nice swim tru’s sea caves and heaps of Crays. Great for a second or third dive after diving the Lermontov.
