One of my favorite wrecks so far ! i dove this site sun 2/22/09, 8:00 am. the weather was perfect, sunny sky, no waves what so ever, 80+ ft of visibility and almost no current. this ship is full of wild life great for spear fishing jacks n big cudas. this wreck is great for penetrating but i suggest u bring a dive light its pretty dark in there. this boat sit's on its side at an angle which makes exploring the boat quit interesting. i will definitely dive this spot over and over again it has to be one of my favorite wrecks so far! Enjoy :o)

Must see the tilted room! If you dive this site you must see the tilted room. As you go down, there is a crew door (to the bridge?). When you enter you are in an room that is about 60w x 30h. It is TILTED! (because the ship rests at an angle) You feel like you should fall over... But, you don't. The virtigo feeling is like nothing else! One side faces the sky the other the ocean floor. You can explore a lot in a very open part INSIDE the ship. Lots of very open area. Don't be affraid! I posted most of the photos on the photos page check out the crew passage door.

THE BEST DIVE OF MY LIFE! I went last weekend, for the second time, this time the visivility was amazing! A lot of life, the ship is huge and I felt like I was diving in a pool of how clear the water was. I stayed around 80 feet and my bottom time was 25 minutes plus safety stop. It was the perfect dive, no current, great visibility. I will definitely go again really soon!

One of the coolest things I have ever done! This was my first deep water dive. It was actually my first deep water dive, I dove it as one of my advanced class dives. I touched bottom at 110 ft wished I would of stayed a little shallower so I would of had more bottom time but I'm a newbee. Very cool dive a few tarpon and other reef fish, I didn't see any jewfish but I herd them druming. It would be a neat dive to go into once I have the certifications. I give it a 9 out of 10 would of liked to see more fish but the ship sure was cool.

Very Good dive with many large Jewfish Great dive, easy to find and moor upon. Plenty of tarpon, jacks big mangroves and I saw 3 of the biggest Jewfish I have ever seen! Current is manageable and bouys are easy access to and from the ship!

This is a must dive if in the keys. Lots of fish{tarpon,permit,goliath,african pompano,grouper,snapper,AJ,7'moray eel}to name a few.The ship itself is still intact except for being broken in half,which i thought added to the whole experience. Current can be strong,use mooring bouys.
