Automatically checked
No recent diver reports from the past 14 days

A report that passes the automatic checks will appear here with the dive date, diver’s display name, and temperatures at each depth.

Reports are automatically checked for plausible dates, depths, and temperatures. They are observations, not forecasts; confirm conditions before diving.

Depth readings

Before you arrive

Access notes

About 12 miles northwest of Virgin Gorda. Attempt only with an experienced local operator and in good weather.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Remote offshore exposure; regular 3–5 ft swells; possible current; 75 ft / 23 m depth; entanglement and sharp or unstable wreck structure. Hurricane Irma removed the bow and opened the stern. Do not penetrate: internal piping is unstable.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
