Navigation
The entry pointTo make a dive on the Rozi all you have to do is make a giant stride entry from the iron structure (a semi built pier), and take a bearing of 300deg. Follow this bearing, noting that you are roughly following a reef wall to your right. You will come to either an anchor at 25m, or the back of the tug boat in 30m. If you find the anchor first, turn slightly right to the direction indicated by the anchor and you will soon see the wreck. If you have not seen anything by the time you are in 33 - 36 m you have missed the wreck and must turn back. In summer there is also a buoy tied to the wreck itself. Just Divers coming to shore after a dive at Cirkewwamake a surface swim of a few minutes then down and enjoy the dive. This site is visited by Statue of St Mary just off the shore at 18 metres.divers all year round night and day, and probably you can see more divers than fish.
