Naranjito

The shallowest structure on the ship is the forecastle deck, at around 28 metres, and it is the natural reference point for the rest of the dive. From there the hull runs down onto a sandy bottom, the bow sitting at 42 metres and the bottom of the stern at 45, with the ship heeled slightly over to starboard rather than square on her keel. PADI quotes 42 metres as the maximum depth for the site, so the profile is planned around the deck and the bow rather than the deepest point of the stern.

The vessel is 51 metres long and, on PADI's description, in excellent condition, with the engine room and the holds open enough to serve as a first taste of wreck penetration for divers trained for it. The training PADI lists as useful here runs from Advanced Open Water, Deep, Wreck and Enriched Air through Full Face Mask and Discover Tec to Tec 40, 60 and 100 and closed-circuit rebreather courses, which is a fair measure of how much planning and gas the depth asks for.

PADI lists barracuda, groupers, amberjack, moray eels and sunfish as the common sightings here. Barracuda, amberjack and groupers work the water around the structure and morays take to the metal, which is the pattern on most Mediterranean wrecks of this size. Sunfish are the outlier on that list: an open-water animal, more likely met in the blue on the ascent than anywhere over the deck. Nothing further about the marine life on this wreck is published.
