the anchor chain from the starboard side streaming out from the wreck, the shape of the bow, a large winch, the deck in the bow area and the hull for the first 10 or 15 metres is quite different from most other wrecks you will ever see, especially in Chuuk.
This is also an excellent wreck, a good introductory first dive of the day. Visibility is not as good as some other wrecks but at 15 to 20 metres, very good for what most divers are used to back home. I spent about 28 minutes on the wreck and had to do seven minutes decompression at three metres.
