King Mitch
This former mine sweeper, turned cargo vessel is a monster of a wreck. She is 105m/350ft long and lies 7 miles offshore on her starboard side and her bow points to the west. Her watery grave is 37m/122ft, and the deep blue gives rise to frequent sightings of spotted eagle rays, black tip sharks and nurse sharks. Check out the cargo hold with a flash light, and see the cosmetic bottles, nail varnish and cologne she was carrying along with bags of cement. Barracuda patrol her almost protecting the ship, and keep an eye out for large turtle, especially during tide changes.
Dive Master Notes
Due to currents and depth it is advisable to perform negative decent on this wreck. Clear water usually allows the wreck to be seen fairly shortly after commencing you’re decent. Due to depth, bottom time is restricted, but this doesn’t stop a good 25minute dive as you come up above the wreck. This is a dive for advanced divers or divers with proof of deep dives and will only be attempted on a calm enough day, as the ride to the dive site can prove rough if the wrong conditions are met. Max depth 37m/122ft.
