Jack Sound

Jack Sound is a treacherous body of water [http://www.divemagazine.co.uk/news/article.asp?uan=3054] about 800m wide between the island of Skomer and the Pembrokeshire mainland that contains numerous reefs and a tidal race of up to 6 knots.

It's used by boats to avoid a three mile detour around the island, [http://www.lowcarbonlifestyle.org/diary/april.html] and has its share of sunken ship wrecks.

The most popular wreck for divers is The Lucy, which sank in good condition in 1967 after being abandoned by its crew owing to its cargo of calcium carbide. [http://www.divetheworld.com/Diving/Shipwrecks/MVLucy/index.htm]

The island and the sound are both part of the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve. [http://www.jlunderwater.co.uk/old_site/photoix/jacksound/]
