The Canterbury Diveres visited the site of the wreck and noted: the wreck lies on her side in 27m and the top around 20m and is quite big and open, apparently broken in 2 I have only dived her in poor viz and did not get a good feel for her shape except that the current can push you into her holds if you dive her after the HW+4 slack. Located not far from the Eastern entrance to Dover Harbour the site is quite sheltered but being inshore can have some rather poor viz. (3)
