Other comments: A large wreck most of the wreck has collapsed but it’s still all there. the highest point of the wreck is at the bow which is upside down least depth recorded here is 18 mts. it covers such a large area that it may not be possible to get back to the shot so you should carry a delayed surface marker buoy. it is a typical square profile wreck dive. i believe the bell has been recovered.

Dive reports : Anon 24/12/08 Yes the finding of the bell was exciting, I always considered the ships bell to be its soul. I recall it was towards the end of my dive and I was almost out of air. The bell weighs quite a bit, 22 lbs to be exact, and you can imagine the effort of carrying that to the surface, but was I hell letting it go. After jumping up from the seabed a few times and paddling frantically only to sink back down, I had to abandon my weight belt. So, if you find a blue belt complete with weights lying on the wreck where I left it, it belongs to me!.
