"Japanese Wreck"
Reported as a "Japanese Wreck" in dive charts, resting in 42m of water listed as a dive site midway off the eastern shore of the peninsula. This was a wooden patrol boat from WW2. Little remains now except the large engine, shaft and propellor. Thanks to Rick Kirkham, Frontier Scuba for additional information.
