4 out of 5 stars Great Penetrations Opportunities

This intentionally sunk wreck lies in 80' of water. Divers who are trained in wreck penetration techniques can view the inside of this wreck. It contains a kitchen, crew quarters, boiler room, toilets, etc. A fun dive, but don't go in the shipwreck unless you are trained to do so. A short video of the inside of the ship can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhlCxVRjJC8
