The wreck lies upright and remains largely intact, with cargo holds still containing cement bags and steel beams. Divers can explore this site at depths ranging from 20 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. Access is by boat only. Due to moderate currents, low visibility, and the depth of the wreck, this site is suitable for advanced divers. Hazards include decompression, entanglement, and nitrogen narcosis.
