Heel mooi wrak en in goede staat om binnen te gaan, de trap is een sprookje en doet ook gelijk denken aan de Titanic.

Prachtig gebied met 3 wrakken. De houten trap in de Karwela is prachtig. Het rif is ook erg mooi. Murene en octopus gespot.

Blijft een leuk wrak met mooie trap! Niet heel veel leven op het wrak zelf, maar wel op het rif terug.
