My Name is Jamie and I have decided to build this site about the SS Kyarra. Being one of the most popular dive sites on the South Coast you would think the net would be full of info on the Kyarra. Unfortunately for such a famous ship there seems to be little info that is not on every other web site that features the Kyarra.

I have therefore set up this site so that anyone wanting more info about the Kyarra can hopefully find it here. I am hoping to list here the Kyarra's history before and during the war. Of course the sinking of the Kyarra will feature highly.

There will also be a dedicated section for divers looking for info. The wreck of the Kyarra is dived by hundreds of divers each week of the diving season, weather permitting of course. Here you will be able to read some of those stories of divers who have dived the wreck and view some of the items that have been recovered.

Below are some of the items I'm hope someone can help me with. There is also some information on the items that will be coming soon.

The hidden wolf and its Captain Johann Lohs. UB-57
I need images of this type of submarine, info on Johann Lohs and his crew.

A chance discovery Kingston BSAC Branch
Do you belong to the BSAC club that discovered the Kyarra or know them. I really need to contac them.

People who traveled aboard the Kyarra
