The exact details of how the wreck came to be are unknown, but its fiery demise and subsequent sinking are a testament to the dangers and mysteries that lie beneath the ocean's surface. Once an active vessel, this ship met its unfortunate fate when it caught fire, engulfing the entire structure in flames.

With a length of 11 meters and a width of 6.5 meters, this wreck provides an interesting and relatively compact site for divers to explore.

Located in an area where visibility can sometimes be clear, divers can expect to be greeted by a diverse array of marine life while exploring this wreck. Angel fishes, known for their vibrant colors and graceful movements, are a common sighting in the area. Lucky divers may also come across stingrays gliding gracefully along the ocean floor, small groupers hiding within crevices, and a multitude of small reef fishes adding splashes of color to the underwater landscape. To enhance the diving experience and further interact with the marine life, divers have the opportunity to feed the angel fishes with oysters. This creates a unique and memorable moment, allowing divers to get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures. As the years pass, this wreck continues to serve as a testament to the mysteries and stories that lie beneath the waves. Divers who venture to explore this site not only witness the remnants of a once-active vessel but also become part of its ongoing history, weaving their own tales of adventure and discovery.
