The wreck starts in only a few meters of water and drops to about 18 m at the stern and keel; the bow ramp is down and overgrown with coral.

Typical Conditions

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep trim around the coral-covered ramp and exposed wreck structure, and avoid touching the coral growth on the wreck. Follow the guide because the profile slopes away from the shallow top.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; plan on a local operator, guide, and marine park fees.
Legal Notes
Coron is a protected area, so follow marine park rules, reef-safe practices, and no-touch guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided scuba wreck dive. The shallow top and sloping profile make it suitable for Discover Scuba and first wreck dives, with the lower section adding a little more depth for certified divers.
