	THE DIVE	Top
	The status of the ship is now pretty broken down. The Rudder and four pan propeller are still there as if time could not harm it. This wreck for some reasons has a number of portholes lying around it that do not match the actual size of the boat. Maybe some of his cargo?

	DIFFICULTY	Top
	The main difficulties on this dive is the depth and the visibility that can drop drastically during the dive.
