The wreck lies in shallow water and is considered appropriate for divers of all certification levels. The ship rests in 30 metres of water, is roughly 25 metres from shore and can be reached with a short swim from the beach. The highest point of the wreck tops out about 5 metres from the surface. The ship was torpedoed by the Japanese off the nearby Island of Lombok and the ship was towed to the beach at Tulamben for salvage operations. The 1963 eruption of Mt. Agung, which devastated much of the eastern side of Bali, drove the ship into the water just off shore, where it became encrusted with coral and a home to other sea life.

This site is easily accessible from shore entry. The wreck was a fun dive and the cargo hold is very large, easy to swim through. We did two dives, stern to mid-ship; then second dive was bow to mid-ship so we could see the wreck from all angles. No current. Some of the more interesting sealife we saw were octopus, sea turtles, scorpion fish, sweetlips fish and lots of garden eels. Visibility was decent at 12-15M.
