Technical Dive Sites

Seian Maru
Japanese freighter approximately 100meters long, this ship has heavy damage and lies on its port side in 27meters of water. Its minimum depth is 18meters, so multi-level dives are possible. Good fish life. Many large lion fish, schools of sweet lips, snapper and many spotted rays on the sand. Because of depth Nitrox can be used.


USS New York (Rochester)
WWI Battle cruiser approximately 100 meters long. The cruiser was scuttled in 1941 to prevent Japanese capture. She also lies on her port side in 27 meters of water (18 min.). A key point of interest are the twin 17 inch gun turrets (one at bow one at eastern). Also one propeller is visible. There is heavy damage in a blast area amidships. Swim throughs are for technical wreck penetration trained divers. Because of depth using Nitrox on multi-level dives is useful. Fish life included school of small barracuda, trevally, sweet lips and groupers.


L.C.U. (Landing Craft Utility)
This American craft lies in 20 meters of water (9meters minimum) and was sunk in 1946. It is nearly intact and in good condition. Sitting upright with slight list to starboard, bow down makes it an easy dive for open water diver. It’s approximately 45 meters long and has a short swim through the cabin.


Patrol Boat
A small coastal freighter (approximately 40 meters long). She sits upright in 24 meters of water and is in good condition. This is an easy dive for novice divers and above. It has a small swim through the single forward cargo hull towards the bridge. This is a good step to making penetrations on the deeper wrecks. Fish life includes rabbit fish, lionfish, and snappers with spotted rays on the sand.


El Capitan
Large Freighter (approximately 80 meters). She lies in 21 meters (6 meters minimum) on her port side. Because of depth she is good for multi-level dives.
