Profile

The ship lies on its starboard side on a sandy bank with an approximate north-south orientation, with the stern being closer to the coast. The boat is a refuge for numerous schools of fish, as well as conger eels, electric rays and groupers. Due to the depth and length of the boat, Nitrox is recommended for this dive.
