The big cargo rooms and the engine room allow easy penetration of this wreck for Wreck Diver Certified divers.
If you dive from 10am to 2pm on a sunny day you get a cathedral like effect from the beams of sunlight entering the cargo holds through the holes in the port side.
The two massive boilers in the centre of the ship are a big attraction on this dive. You can pass behind the boilers and see the damage resulting from one of the bomb strikes that disabled the ship.
It is possible to do a swim-through and pass from bow to stern without exiting the ship.
