Known also as "Belinda" - Suprisingly good wreck dive ! Very few guides were offering it in 2007.
Can be visited freediving.
Few penetration paths but be careful with sharp metal edges.
Usually poor visibility (close to marinas)but tons of small (nudibranches) and big (trevallies, barracudas, batfish) sealife.
Some part covered with soft coral.
