The John Mahn is a wreck site located 37 kilometres from shore, functioning as an artificial reef. Divers encounter depths ranging from 21 to 35 metres, requiring careful management of decompression limits and nitrogen narcosis. Conditions include moderate currents and visibility between 5 and 10 metres, often necessitating the use of a torch. Water temperatures fluctuate between 8 and 19 degrees Celsius, making a drysuit essential for most of the year. Due to the depth and potential for entanglement, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Access is strictly by boat, and conditions should be monitored closely before entry.
