kelemvor - 2/25/2014 6:45 PM I went scuba diving here on 2/23/2014. Average viz: 31-35ft/9-11m. Water temp: 76-80°F/24-27°C. Nice dive, lots of small reef fish. Saw nothing large. There was quite a strong current to deal with. This is a nice wreck to explore. Lots of large areas with easy access. There is also quite a lot of coral and other growth on every bit of the wreck.
