The Lena
by Gary Waters
The Lena was a captured Pirate Patagonian tooth fishing vessel proccured by the Bunbury Chamber of Commerce and prepared for scuttling by a huge array of people and organizations. Sitting in almost 18m of water, 5km off shore, it makes for a very interesting and safe dive. Vigorous growth addorns most of the boat already and the marine life is rushing in for prime real estate, there is even a large Baldchin Groper that can be seen regularly.
