The ship now rests at 32m, almost fully intact, on its starboard side, just off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka ๐Ÿšข Diving this wreck was one of my absolute favourite dives so far. It was the first one I did for my AOW course and I fell in love with its surreal beauty almost immediately. I don't believe in love at first sight, but by damn, did this wreck prove me wrong.
