The ship is lying on the bottom in roughly three separate sections parallel to the reef, with the crumpled bow lying at 10 meters, the cargo area amidships being a jumble of steel and remains of the cargo and the aft section with an intact A-frame located forward of the superstructure. The stern of the wreck is lying at 24 meters. The bow lies fully on its port side and the superstructure aft lies at about a 45-degree angle. At the stern, the ship’s bent propeller lies partially buried in the sand on the bottom. All along the deck areas on the aft section are deck fittings, bollards, winches, and the boat davits. Penetration into the superstructure is easiest by entering the pilothouse, which has been stripped of all of its equipment, and then heading aft and down the companionway into the engine room, which hasn’t been salvaged. Because of the angle of the ship, it can become a bit disorienting for the first time wreck diver here. The engine room is filled with catwalks and handrails, all at odd angles, with the diesel engine lying to one side. Exit from the engine room can be easily made by ascending up through one of the skylights above the diesel where you find yourself beside the ship’s smokestack. The mast of the ship reaches upwards to almost 4-meters below the surface. The wreck is populated with numerous varieties of aquatic life with glassfish, scorpionfish, wrasse, the occasional napoleon, crocodile fish, and blue-spotted stingrays along the bottom. This is really a fun wreck dive for divers of all certification levels.
