Rests on a rocky seabed sloping from 25 meters under the bow to 32 meters at the stern. The wreck lies on a northwest-southeast axis on her portside.
Before you dive it is recommended to read up on the dramatic history of the wreck. It is usually calm here; in fact the wreck is a very good bad weather alternative for those turning back from a blown out trip to the wrecks at Abu Nuhas. Current can scream through here though from the north, but there is always shelter behind the decks of the ship. Should the current be ripping, please remember to monitor your air frequently.
The wreck is only 60 meters to 70 meters long, so no need to rush. The aft section is bristling with winches and anti-aircraft guns whilst the fore-deck guns have been sheared off. The blast-hole area is suitable for penetration, though elsewhere it is inadvisable. All around, on the seabed are live shells – look but don’t touch.
