This wreck sits at about 130' and was originally painted and adorned with statutes to resemble an onboard casino complete with poker playing sharks and an octopus playing billiards. Alas, after a few short years everything the paint has faded completely and the statues are barely recognizable.
We dropped in on top of the main structure and penetrated several levels down, explored the engine room then swam the length of the 324' ship to the bow and back to the line. We encountered a bit of current returning to the line, the railings and pipes were quite handy for more effective hand over hand rather than finning.
Filmed with a GoPro Hero 4, 2 Archon video lights alternated with Flip 5 filters shallow and mid depth.
I'm usually behind the lens but I've got a cameo in this one at 4:37, as I handed off my camera to my sister who filmed me playing poker.

So true. Only when I saw the video did I realize my newbie error which resulted in a configuration issue that I compensated for without realizing it. Makes me wonder how often I dive like this?
