The boilers, prop shaft and stern can all be found in 10m lying parallel to the shore. The bow is 30m forward of the boilers over the sandy bottom, one of the large boilers has split open and with care it is possible to swim right through. The stern is 70m north of the boilers. There are lots of spars and winches and a prop shaft of this wreck covered by sand and get uncovered after rough seas. This area is good for photography as its usually teeming with life.
