The Belcher Barge is a 195ft steel vessel resting upside down on the seabed.

The site reaches depths between 17m and 36m, with an average depth of 18m. Due to the depth and the presence of an overhead environment, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Access is strictly by boat. Local guidance is recommended for navigating the wreck trek.
