Huge sting ray! This was my first time diving a wreck and it was a blast! It was only 18ft to the bottom so be care full not to pull directly over the wreck. The first thing we saw was a huge sting ray burrowed down in the sand in the middle of the wreck. It had to be at least four foot across! Slowly working our way around the wreak I spotted another large Ray off the bow, a small school of what looked like Amber Jacks, a small school of Rudder Fish, a Toad Fish tucked in under the boiler, and a few small grouper. The wreck must not get many visitors because most of the fish wouldn't get close enough to get a good look at, Only the small bait fish.

Good wreck to end a day of diving. Good freedive spot Nice and shallow, About 15-20 feet deep, good free dive or begining scuba dive location. Few fish and rays. some of the wreck comes within about 5 feet of the surface. Vis about 15 feet on the day I was there.

Good spot for beginners. Vis was pretty good. Suprisingly holds quite a few fish.

Easy Kayak Dive Tried this one off of a sit on top kayak. Really easy on a calm day. Great visibility and a nice sting ray. Must have been 4 foot wingspan! Easy to snorkel also, lots of fun.

Good Spot for Beginners Easily seen from the surface. There were a few smaller grouper and lots of bait. I am new to the sport and it was a good site to get familiar with my new gear.

Good shallow water wreck for beginners& snorkelers This wreck is in about 20-25 ft./H2O. At times this wreck brings lots of sea creatures like stingrays, flounders, sheephead, grouper and other fish.
