The environment includes overhead sections, requiring careful buoyancy control and awareness of potential entanglement points.

Book with a local operator who knows the wreck's current state, as internal structure can be unstable and conditions inside change over time. Cold water here will drain a standard wetsuit quickly, so a drysuit is strongly recommended even in summer.
