Because the wreck and artificial reef create enclosed spaces, stay close to your guide or buddy and avoid placing hands or fins near any lines, nets, or loose structure where entanglement is a real risk. The site dives year-round, so match your exposure suit to the season, a 3mm wetsuit works well in summer but you will want 7mm or a drysuit in the cooler winter months.
