Best for intermediate divers, 70-110m, boat entry, moderate current.
The USS Algol is a technical wreck site located in the United States, resting at depths between 70 and 110 metres. This artificial reef requires advanced decompression diving skills due to its significant depth and overhead environment. Divers experience visibility ranging from 10 to 50 metres, though moderate currents and cold water temperatures between 3 and 13 degrees Celsius are constant factors. Access is strictly by boat, and the site is suited for intermediate technical divers. Given the depth, nitrogen narcosis is a primary consideration, and a drysuit with thermal protection is essential for all dives. Boat charters and guided tours are available to assist with navigating this deep-water wreck.
