Louis Shield

A lovely dive for novices, and well sheltered from Easterly winds. The wreck used to stand clear at low water, but has now broken up more, There are still large recognisable sections of hull and the boilers are exposed and easy to find. Lots of fish life, and some of the largest conglomerations of Snakelocks anenomes I have ever seen are just N of the wreck. 200m swim from the beach to access this well broken wreck. The Golf club offers green field parking, and there is another car park further on. Louis Shield is also known as Thurlstone Beach.
