Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Not viable - wreck lies at depth (up to 28m) and is a boat dive, not accessible to surface snorkelers

Safety notes

Depth (down to 28m) pushes towards recreational limits, requiring good buoyancy and gas management; occasional current at the site; standard wreck hazards of sharp metal edges and potential entanglement in line/netting (VERIFY - not explicitly detailed in sources)

Permits & fees

No specific permit or fee identified beyond normal dive-center booking; the wreck was deliberately sunk/deployed in January 2006 as an artificial reef under a 'Rebuilding Nature' project by Manta Diving Center

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
