The wreck was first dived by the founder of Moskito Diving Mr. Heinz Oswald and his team where they carried out initial investigations and research for Songserm Travel Centre Company and Ferry Line Plc, the owners of the boat.
The wreck sits upright in thirty meters of sand and remains in one piece although the foreword upper deck has collapsed. The simplest and safest point of entry is through the vessels stern where divers can explore the once active car decks. This particular part of the structure is reached after a descent averaging only ten meters. Machinery still sits on the deck. Inside the car deck are a couple of vehicle tires and an engine trolley. The interior darkens as you continue through and up one of the stairways on either side ; patches of chrome peek through the now barnacle covered handrail. Both of these lead through open doors and out to walkways.
Perfect reflections of passers by are only broken up by a bubbles of oil floating on the thin layer of air below the ceiling. Rows of passenger seats and low coffee tables fill the inner recesses and do not really look as inviting as they once were before they were moved below 22 meters of water. The collapsed foredeck is at 16 meters; there’s a stack of plastic picnic tables and chairs being enjoyed by a vertical cloud of snappers using the unlikely structure to shelter from any ensuing currents. Above this, an air filled inverted bucket has jamned between a criss cross of horizontal beams. The upper deck is split from front to back and this has obviously caused it to collapse; Two funnels act as boundaries for parrotfish and wrasse as they flit and peck around. It is obviously a sad occasion for all concerned when an accident such as this occurs, thankfully no lives were lost. As for Anemone reef, well, half remains where it always has been, the remainder is on the mend, not as the once rocky haven of marine life but as a steel one!. Now the marine sanctuary has three locations and not just two.
