Plan your dive on the shallower sections of the wreck first to keep your bottom time and air supply working in your favour, as dropping to the deeper range will cut your no-decompression limits quickly. Confirm current boat operator availability locally before your trip, as facilities at this site are not fixed.
Access is by boat; a mooring buoy is positioned directly above the bow section.
