First dive on the Keystorm since 2012. There are still three surface markers to tie up to, wreck remains in great shape. No changes noted in ability to access engine room or areas of pilothouse. Visibility is not as good as in the past, far fewer zebra mussels in the river. The shells still coat the wreck, but the majority of the population seems to have died out. I was on the wreck very early so had the site to myself, still remains a heavily trafficked site by late morning/early afternoon.

Perfect wreck dive for any cert level. At last dive (August 2012) there were three mooring sites on surface. Bow is in about 35 ffw and stern is in 110 ffw. Larger open holds for beginner "penetration" and more advanced divers can get into the engine room. Current isn’t an issue and visibility is usually very good but this is a popular site for dive operations so as it gets crowded the silt gets kicked up more and more. Go early in the day!
