Observers let loose with applause and whoops of appreciation as the vessel quietly slipped beneath the surface. Aboard the Atlantis shuttle boat 3 air-shattering blasts were fired from miniature brass cannon to mark the occasion. The Dive The vessel was sunk around seven years ago and at the present supports a large range of marine life. As soon as you start to descend from the mooring ball you should typically be able to distinguish the outline of the wreck relatively easily. The visibility on this dive site is typically 80+ feet and much of the time over 100+ feet.

There might be some current on this site so a few divers might want to descend using the mooring line. As you descend you will start to perceive additional particulars regarding the vessel and the impacts of being upon the reef for about seven years. The main mast collapsed around mid-summer 2011 and will now be seen resting upon the main deck. The main cabin roof and walls have deteriorated to some level and there are numerous holes into the hold. The access to the cargo hold itself is rather large and readily accessible. The engine room along with the forward compartment is blocked by means of a gate however you can still get a decent mix of shots from this section. The rear area of the cargo hold is fairly clear and at the present time will include various fish species or crustaceans as they happen to be moving about the shipwreck. There happen to be a number of frogfish on the shipwreck. I was able to photograph 5 different frogfish on my most recent dive. These fish are particularly well placed for macro photographs and might consume a lot of bottom time, nevertheless it is definitely worth the effort. Two frogfish were on the main deck to the rear of the main cabin and 3 were on the starboard side about the midships area. While scuba diving on the wreck, you can also discover a broad mix of fish such as, Pacific Trumpetfish, Sergeant Majors, Dascyllus, Orangespine Unicornfish, Rainbow Cleaner Wrasse, and much more. This wreck dive is best when there are less than 10 scuba divers in the water because the shipwreck itself is not very big. It is a quite interesting dive and I highly recommend
