The Macedonia is a big wreck that lies more or less north-south, and is completely contiguous. Most of the iron wreckage is low - 4-6 ft off the bottom, and jagged in spots. The debris field spreads out laterally quite a ways. Some of the hull plates have fallen inward, and present a smooth upper surface, while the entire west side of the wreck forms a large overhang.

I strongly recommend diving the aft or southern portion of this wreck, where the boilers, engine, drive shaft, and propeller make a line of interesting and easily navigated landmarks. The bow section of the wreck is low and disorganized, with no clear axis or terminus, and is much easier to get lost on. And you don’t want to get lost on this wreck, because with the surface currents typically found in this area, a free ascent would not be advisable.
