HomeThe CP1238 was a catamaran towed
barge. Her overall length is about 50m, 8m wide and 6m high.
We do not much about the
CP 1238. All we know is that she sunk in 1999. She was at the
time transporting cars that now lie on the seabed, surrounding the wreck
but to far to be seen on the same dive.
Co-ordinates :
Depth : the top deck is at 68m and the deepest point is at 74m.
The CP1238 lies staright on
her hull in a visibility that can range from 10 to 30m depending on the
tide and the surrounding fishing activities. On the front deck in lays
what could be a life raft and at the back two large pieces
of 50cm pipe and 4m long ? Big Carangids, Tunas, Barracudas, Morey eels, Lion fish and Scorpion fish have now invaded the barge. If you are lucky the encounter of a Manta Ray would not be impossible in the region.

The dive has no particular dangers except
for the depth. A planning of 20-25min would be fine to get you all around
it. A 16/40 mix, Air and NX70 profile would leave you of less than 90min
in the water.
