Nice dive - easy to find Dived this site 7/4/2006. Viz was 25-30' and near zero current. Barracuda and bait fish mostly with an occasional Bonita and several smaller Hog fish. Large Goliath was also off the werck in vicinty of rubble pile to the north west. Fairly open wreck and in good condition. Penetration should be OK for most experienced divers (don't attempt if you don't have some experience in wreck penetration). Spear fishing this site (Site Two of the South Reef System) is probably not going to be too fruitful (maybe on some other days) as this site does get pressure.

A nice wreck to dive but not a lot of fish right now. Dove this wreck in the morning. Nice dive, has access into the wreck in some places. Didn't see many fish other than barracudas, but this is a relatively new reef and the area is still recovering from the red tide. Note: The buoys that marked the bow are there, but NOT accurate. Your best bet is to anchor next to the yellow reef center marker buoy and swim due east for 200 ft!
