She is sitting at a depth of 28 metres upright on sand with a slight list to port with her bow facing to the east. The shallowest part of the vessel is 8 metres from the surface. Descending down the line it is very common to come across schools of kingfish and sweep that blanket the outlining of this once a time ship of destruction.
The bow section has now broken off the ship after encountering raging storms in her new resting place. But new signs of life are forming like the jewel anemones that you will find among encrusted formations on the bow and rails.
Exploring across the deck section in limited visibility the guns that were once used for destruction come into view. Here they are taking on a new purpose blanketed with encrusted life with crustaceans patrolling her housing.
Rightfully qualified divers can penetrate the wreck through purpose cut access and exit points to explore control rooms, bridges, crew living quarters and engine rooms via established routes. A good torch is highly recommended even on dives during the day.
Proceeding up to the crow's nest the rails are covered in white anemones with a much large array of marine life. The phytoplankton here is abundant and is the draw card for the multiple species that you will encounter.
