Wrecksite Today
Discovered in April 2004, it is lying upside down on a white sandy bottom. Known as the "Deep Pete". The visibility is seldom below 30m, schools of friendly batfish accompany divers, resident snappers, sweet lips and schooling barracuda and Trevally are often found here. The two cowl mounted 7mm guns which fire through the propeller are still in position. The mounted flexible gun which was operated from the rear cockpit lies in the sand with the drum magazine near by.
