Very cool wreck dive with a substantial penetration. The engine room still had the whole engine. Further inside the ship we saw a number of scorpionfish. The cargo was still partly visible too, namely timber. The air pocket inside the ship was covered with a layer of oil. Bas and Siebren stepped into it.
