The base of the wreck's hull sat at about 75-80', sloping up from the back of the boat. We descended at the front of the boat (sorry, my nautical terminology is non-existent), hung around the side, some went to the bottom on the side (I think there was a lobster) and then we proceeded to the propeller. From there, if I remember correctly, you go to the deck, down into the wreck, do that deck, up the ladder (you see in the video) then do a second deck and then out onto the back of the boat, which is OW.
Lights were not required, although most had them - except me.
I just stayed between two divers who had them. There were times, noted in the video, in which you were in a small passage between holds/rooms and they were dark but only momentarily. Most of the time I didn't feel like lights were necessary. And you can tell that from the video - it was shot with my Canon A710 IS camera - no lights. All ambient lighting.
As for the timing - My dive was 49 minutes. Less 8 minutes safety stop - 41 minutes. Less 1 - 2 minutes descending. 39 minutes. Less 5 minutes outside the ship before entering. 34 minutes. Less about 10-15 minutes outside of the wreck after the inner-tour. I would estimate 10-15 minutes inside the wreck since I didn't video the entire time and the video itself is about 7 minutes and 10 seconds I believe.
It was a great dive.
