Britannia Beach Dock is the site of the old Customs House of years gone by.  The area has a lot of history due to the large copper processing plant just across the street, which makes the waters perfect for treasure hunters.  While off-gassing, you may want to take a tour of the mine!

Heading North from Horseshoe Bay, after about 32km you'll see a large mining facility to the right, and the railroad crossing below to the left.

Dove this site and found it to be very challenging.  The bottom drops off sharply and continues to over three hundred fathoms.  Lots of silt run off from local streams so vis is sketchy on the North side of the dive.  Some interesting tid bits of history to be found for the patient diver.  Little life but still a very good dive for advanced and technical divers.  Large bone bed (from ships dumping kitchen waste during the early 1900's). I Highly recommend this dive to technical divers looking for a local challenge!
