★★★☆☆ Good upright wreck with an interesting structure. Worth seeing, but not on a par with some of the well known historical wrecks at this depth.

★★★☆☆ Not a very a big wreck, but enough to see. Some nice life including huge crabs and some large groupers. Max depth is 62m on the deck (towards the bow). Some minor penetration is possible, nothing special though. Rated 3 stars as there are some much nicer wrecks at the same depth range..3.5 would be more fair i guess!
