This magnificent wreck rests delicately on its side, at a depth of 34 metres, on a sandbank. Its top reaches a height of 27 metres, and its depth has allowed it to remain remarkably well preserved over the years.

This site is home to an incredible diversity of Senegal’s marine fauna, including rays, red carp, groupers, amberjacks, sars and bream.
