| Description: | Here is a blockship of 4268 tons that once obstructed the channel in Kirk Sound. In 1920 this steamship was lifted and re-sunk off the island of Kirk Holm currently providing an interesting surface dive site.

The Aorangi is in deep and clear waters providing an excellent second dive site at the east coast of Orkney. |
