The Fetlar is a quiet wreck lying between 20 and 30 m, out near the Minquiers reef. It is one of the wreck dives in the pool worked from Granville's boats, and its depth suits divers trained for deeper dives.

Also known as Epave du Fetlar.

The dive

The boat runs out from Granville towards the Minquiers reef, at the heart of this stretch of the Emerald Coast, and the Fetlar lies not far from it. The wreck is quiet, and the dive stays in a band between 20 and 30 m, deep enough that bottom time on air is limited.
