What type of gear and tanks are you using? That is a great dive for doubles, but you can stick around the main deck with a single tanks and stage bottle. It's been a couple of years since I dove her, so others can tell you more.

I was there in July. No current to speak of at depth, what you get at the surface will of course depend on the weather. Vis was about 40 ft, maybe 50. I just checked my computer download. My max depth was 108, most of the time on the wreck between 101-104. We were several feet above the deck the whole time and made one circuit around. I was diving a single with a pony and managed about 11 minutes at the wreck, started the ascent with about 3 minutes of no-stop time remaining, did a stop at 50 feet for 2 minutes and a stop around 20 for five minutes. No deco.

She is about 135' to the bottom at the stern and around 110' to the deck. You can penetrate it and hit between 115' and 125' the vis can go from 5' one day to 50' the next and there can be moderate currents from day to day. Check out the sand aft and starboard the stern there was a sink some silverware and a bunch of cool junk there last year. It is my favorite wreck!
