It has been gazetted under Section 7 of the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 which provides for a special protected zone of 200m around the wreck.
The Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 was superseded in 2019 with the Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 Any disturbance activity is prohibited; divers are required to apply to the Department of the Environment and Science (QLD State) for a permit to access the wreck.
This site has much interesting sea-life, from small to large batfish at cleaning stations everywhere.
The site can have very good visibility but a strong current makes it hard to see the entire wreck in one dive.
