Because of previous days storms our dive guide choose this location since it should provide good cover for big waves.
We enters at the rocky beach by a ladder and the did a surface swim for about 20 meters before submersion, then we swam quite shallow to save bottom time until we spotted the wreck, as we did we descended to the wreck. on the way down you could see a myriad of beautiful silver shimmering air bubbles coming out of the wreck, almost like it was alive.
First thing on the wreck we did a penetration going through it stern to prow. In the middle of the ship there was a beautiful staircase between the different decks. Linda got a bit exalted, later on she told me she recognized it from an award winning photo.
After the swim through we circled the deck for a while but since it was a deep dive on regular air we didn't have much time - it was all worth it tho, but next time I will do it with nitrox. On the way back we did a short swim over the Camino land wreck and then headed for the beach, when it became more shallow we explored the fauna and fish life.
