What you might see

• NudibranchLikely

Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Safety notes

Cold water requiring drysuit training; depth (24-40m) demands advanced/deep certification; overhead environment for wreck penetration (silt-out risk) though openings were cut for diver safety; occasional surface current; possible entanglement in old wreck rigging/netting - VERIFY; narcosis risk at depth
