Due to its shallow depth it is perfect for beginners to dive on. The wreck sits in a sand patch and is surrounded by scattered coral and some large coral heads. The wreck is used as a feeding ground and has attracted a large number of Bermuda Chub which will eat out of your hand. After leaving the wreck and going on to the reef divers will notice the fish following them for a while. There is usually a large school of Horse-Eye Jacks that frequent the area but they are not as tame as the the Bermuda Chub. Sometimes you see baby turtles.
