SS Pedernales was a lake tanker of the World War II and post war eras. She was built in 1938 in Monfalcone, Italy, and sailed under the British flag. Pedernales was severely damaged in a torpedo attack on 16 February 1942 while anchored at Aruba.

The damaged ship was cut into three sections. The fore and aft sections were joined together, and the ship made her way to Baltimore, Maryland, to be rebuilt. The middle section was left in Aruba and, after being used for a number of years as a target by Dutch gunners after the war, has become a scuba diving site.

A 15 minutes boat ride from Stuart´s Cove. My SC card was unfortunately almost full before I dived in. Too bad as I got close to a feeding turtle and some tiny commensal shrimps. Bad luck!

The dive boat anchored up in a shallow bay well protected from the big waves. We did two dives, but the first one, Wye Reef, was nothing but boring. Luckily Cartanza Senova was the last dive and a great site!

The Great Northern, Stone Town, Zanzibar

Posted on January 31, 2015 by kirsti8316

My first dive ever after being certified!
Want so badly to go back!
Wish I had a better camera back then!

The Great Northern is a British cable-laying ship that sank on New Years Eve 1903 and now sits at 12 metres, just off Pange Sandbank. She has become a great artificial reef in the years since she sank, and is now home to a number of leaf fish, moray eels and lion fish. Pange Sandbank is great for sun bathing og snorkelling. A great place for beginner divers!
