Ranges span today's hours. Wave height here is the raw sea state — the rating scales it for how exposed the site is. Semi-exposed — partial protection, so swell is scored at three-quarters of its open-water height.

Dive briefing

AI-generated

This small wreck lies on sand in shallow water, making it straightforward for beginners. Depths run from 10 to 22 metres. Today's conditions are marginal: a raw swell of 0.8–1.2m combined with short-period chop will make for a bumpy day on the water and less comfortable diving. Sea temperature sits at 28.5–29.1°C, so standard thermal protection is all you'll need.

Divers commonly log stoplight and striped parrotfish here, along with Atlantic blue tangs, Caribbean bluehead wrasse, and schoolmaster snapper. Atlantic sergeant majors and blue chromis are often recorded as well. Blue land crabs have been logged by visitors to the site. The wreck itself is small, and the sandy bottom offers room to explore the broader area if conditions allow.
