The MV Friars Craig was a single screwed, 162 foot long (49.5 m) coastal cargo ship that was built in 1938. Originally named the Salcombe , it was renamed the Friar's Craig in 1969. After remaining at anchor in Carlisle Bay for ten years the vessel was scuttled on June 2, 1985 to make an artificial reef. The location is marked with an orange unlit buoy. The vessel rests in 46 feet of water and has broken into three pieces due to storms. This dive site is located in Carlisle Bay Marine Park.
