The ship was swept ashore by Hurricane Michael in October 2018. As a constant reminder of Hurricane Michael's devastating wrath, she sat abandoned off the Hathaway Bridge. She began her career as a top dive site in May 2019. She is three stories high and home to an incredible amount of marine life. You could still see the "Happy Holidays", unknown townsfolk, on her deck as of our last trip.

An Average Diver, at an Average Depth, With an Average Tank
Based on personal experience, an average open-water certified diver using a standard aluminum 80-cubic-foot tank on a 40-foot dive will be able to stay down for about 45 to 60 minutes before surfacing with a safe reserve of air still in the tank.
So just to reiterate: don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
