Mohegan (15 - 29 metres)

The Mohegan is the best-known and most dived wreck on the Manacles. There was a loss of 106 lives. A mass burial of some of the victims took place in St Keverne church. The site is marked by a simple cross. The wreck is an unforgettable dive, with the bow in some 15m and the remainder in 29m. The ship lies on the seaward side of Carn du Rock and any dive planned for this area should be on slack water. Slack water is 1hour after high or low tide. It takes at least 4 dives just to cover the wreck. Marine life on the rocks includes gorgonian fans, dead man's fingers and jewel anemones. On the sand you might spot the occasional flat fish or anglerfish.
