Dive Notes:
Team dives this wreck from the Diversity. Map team marks the location of the stern, midships, and bow. The ship is broken up badly from the hurricanes of 2005, especially in the midships with the hull flattened and broken away from the bow and stern. Bow is upright, but the stern is twisted with the stern toward the west and it is rolled onto its port side. There is about a 30 ft gap between the midship hull plates and the stern, which lies to the northwest of the midship hull plates. Map team did not see anything special for marine life on this wreck.
