About The Lumb

This wreck was a tug boat that was turned into a fishing trawler. After a while, the dive industry bought her, and intentionally sunk her in 1994 to create a dive site. This is a safe and easy dive,as well as the penetrations, as they were intentionally made by the dive industry after being purchased. Therefore this site is recommended for beginner divers. Nudibranches are abundant on the wreck.
