About H.M.S. Cricket

The H.M.S. Cricket is a dive site characterized by the remnants of a World War I gun-boat that sunk in 1947. The sunken vessel lies upside down at a maximum depth of 30 meters. Diving this site presents a unique experience due to the topsy-turvy orientation of the wreckage, which can induce an intriguing sense of disorientation among divers exploring the site. The visibility at the H.M.S. Cricket ranges from an approximate minimum of 9 meters to a maximum of 27 meters. This range in visibility can significantly influence the diving experience, allowing divers to get different perspectives of the ship wreckage at different times. Despite the eerie feel caused by the upside-down ship, this dive site provides an extraordinary underwater adventure into the annals of history.
