Have dived this wreck a number of times and each time is better than the last. It is a perfect size to see the whole wreck in a single dive with very little deco. There are some huge congers and lobster under the port keel and tons of pollack and bib. As this is a deep wreck (bout 36mts) and there is very little in the way of ambient light a good torch is essential. well worth doing
