The Aloha is an old schooner turned barge. She went down due to leaking in a gale in 1917. She was carrying coal. Her Captain was the only fatality. Wreck is in OK shape. I believe right now they are about 48-50 ft down.
Beside her is the Effie May. She was an old dive boat that was scuttled by the owners. She is quite close and you can do both wrecks in a single dive.
The site is moored by POW Kingston.

A fun beginner dive. We take most of our new O/W divers there for the last cert dive.

Hey these are great dives for student divers. They both sit about 55 feet and can dived on the same dive. Usually there are alot of fish around them. be sure to go to the bow of the Aloha and look at the depth marks don't mind the zebra's. Both wrecks are located just out of Kingston Harbour (Portsmouth) not to far from nine mile point to the west of the island. I believe in line with a farm house on the island. This is a great dive after diving the George A. Marsh or Comet. Let me know if the sailboard is still on top of the Effie Mae. I haven't dived these wrecks since 1997 just before I moved down to Florida
