Divers access the site by boat, navigating moderate currents that can strengthen quickly. Visibility ranges from 10 to 40 metres. Due to the depth and potential for changing currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control. Hazards include deep water, sharp coral, and the presence of sharks. Monitor air consumption and bottom time closely, particularly when exploring the deeper sections of the wreck and reef structure.
