Entry / access
boat

The supply ship went down in the US carrier raid on Coron Bay on 24 September 1944 and now sits almost upright, with its top deck in the low 30s of metres. Trained divers can enter the wheelhouse, holds, galley and crew areas, but the corridors are maze-like and some decks are very low. Jacks school around the hull and sponges cover the crow's nest.
