But it also offers a variety of fish. Schools of barracuda or large tuna and snapper are not uncommon here.

As an artificial reef, it also attracts countless coral fish. Worth seeing is the stern with its guns, the midship and foreship, the bow and the cargo, as well as the vehicles, the two locomotives, the tender and the water wagon.

The currents at the wreck are moderate, sometimes strong. Visibility is generally moderate and there are often many boats on site.

The early morning hours are recommended as the best diving time.
