Best for advanced divers, 49-55m, boat entry, moderate current.
The USS Cyclops is a technical wreck dive located 74 kilometres offshore in the United States. Resting at depths between 49 and 55 metres, this site is strictly for advanced divers with decompression training. The environment is demanding, featuring low visibility of 1 to 5 metres and water temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, dropping as low as 5 to 9 degrees at depth. Divers must manage significant hazards including strong currents, entanglement risks within the structure, and nitrogen narcosis. Boat access is required for this site, and typical bottom times are approximately 20 minutes. Due to the challenging conditions, navigation relies heavily on torches and meticulous pre-dive planning.

Given the low visibility and depth, carry a minimum of two torches and run a penetration reel even for sections that may seem straightforward on paper. Confirm current boat operator decompression protocols before the dive, as surface conditions and current can change the planned profile.
