    The riddle presumably refers to one of the wrecks that oonasdivers organise trips to. It could be the Thistlegorm on P36 of their dive sites guide but not completely sure because the riddle doesn't mention any of war cargo so still checking other wreck dives on the rest of the site.

    The riddle is

    I started life as a beautiful bird, crossing from port to port
    Cars, people, rum and spice were a few of the things I brought
    I'm retired now for you to see, 30m on the floor
    I welcome you to come inside, I've made some special doors....

  • I agree with puzzymunkle on this one with the answer to the riddle being the maverick. It was formerly the MV Scarlet Ibis and the scarlet ibis is a bird.

    When I looked at Thistlegorm there seemed to be no connection to a bird or carrying people, cars, rum and spices.
  • Oh and to add, got an email in response to my answer saying:
    make sure you have included your full name, address and telephone number. Winner will be announced on our website on 4 January 2013.

    Sorry I thought the riddle was in addition to the 12 answers - not answer 12 - note to self read the original competition page before sifting through 47 pages of dive sites!

    Thanks for your help folks
