Originally named the Hollyhock, this 175 foot long ex-USCG buoy tender was sunk as an artificial reef on February 20, 1990. She now lies in 110 feet of water with her bow pointing North.

With all the levels, passage ways, cabins, etc. this is one of the busiest wrecks in the area. See it once or see it many times --- it's always a treat.

With the deck at 65 feet and the sand at 110 feet you can do this dive on air if you wish, but you'll get a lot more bottom time on Nitrox i.e 16 minutes on air and 29 minutes on EANx36.
