This dive site consists actually out of two wrecks named the Eidsvag and Owens. The 125 foot long freighter Owens sits upright covered in algae, soft and hard corals. Eidsvag is a 150 foot long freighter with its stern separated from the rest found at its port side. Both wrecks sank in 1985 as part of the creation of a triangular artificial wreck dive site. Tiny gorgonians, sponges and fish life such as jacks, yellowtails, barracuda's and spadefish are known to fill the open spaces of the interiors of these wrecks.
