Comments: This is the best shallow wreck dive in the area. This wreck has something for everybody. Artifacts for the collector, huge blackfish for the underwater hunter and for the beginning wreck diver a great wreck to explore in shallow water. For underwater photographers this wreck is covered with Anemones and both soft and hard corals. Bottles, yarn spools, "Cats Paw" shoe heels and common china are often found on the wreck. This wreck is best dived 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after slack tide due to the strong currents.

Comments: This is an incredible site for marine life. If it swims it can be seen around this two acre site. This pile of boulders has formed an area of cliffs on one side and underwater tunnels on the other. You can experience the feeling of wall diving here. This is a terrific site for underwater photography.
