A very good dive spot with a variety of marine life. Large shoals of banana fish, giant bat fish and giant puffer fish, especially around the mast, bow and stern. There are also specimen crocodile fish and scorpion fish so be careful where you put your hands.
Easy penetration at the cargo rooms. It offers a good opportunity to discover wreck diving.
