Idaho & Barnard Castle

On this trip we will visit the Idaho wreck on Race Rocks and the Barnard Castle in Pilot Bay.

The Idaho was a steamer that grounded on Rosedale Reef in 1889. It eventually drifted off leaving its internal equipment on site. The Barnard Castle was a coal collier that struck Race Rocks and sank in Pilot Bay in 1886. The Idaho will be an exploration dive. We hope to trim some of the kelp on the Barnard Castle for an eventual photgrametry project. There may be some current during the first dive, but we will be using a live boat for pickup. Cost: $85.00 per person. Limit 6 divers.
