ABOUT THE MV JASIM
Charted Depth: 23 Metres
Type: MV Coastal Tanker
Tonnage: 1,200
Date Sunk: March 25th 1986
Resting on her port side, the Jasim lies in 26-27 Metres of water and is broken into three large sections.
The stem section consists of the engine room and accommodation, with the large single propeller and rudder still in place.
The Middle cargo section is a tangled, confused collection of broken hatches, rigging and old vehicle parts and lorry wheels.
The bow section is more or less intact with lamp rooms and deck winches.
Diving
This site is always an interesting dive, although care must be taken as the average depth is 27metres.
Marine Life
This wreck offers the opportunity to see some unusual marine life, and there are several species of brittle stars and cowrie shells. The shells are normally nocturnal, but on this site you can usually find one or two during the day.
