Divesite:

The Trio Bravo now sits upright and intact, with its superstructure being significantly impacted from the explosions that sunk it. Also, there is quite a nice opening for access to the vessel’s interior, and divers can easily swim down into the engine room to observe the large boilers resting in her belly, as well as other adjacent compartments.
