DESCRIPTION

The SS Urlana lies close to shore in shallow water and makes a good second dive to some of our most exciting scenic dives close by. It lies scattered and broken up after being salvaged extensively in the 1960’s and 70’s, but it still offers a great site to rummage with lots to find. It offers great shelter to lots of marine life, with dramatic dancing light stabbing through the kelp above.
