Details:

The dive starts with a descent from the boat using the shot line to 18 meters. Upon reaching the ship’s left side, we adjust our buoyancy before exploring Lady Thetis.

Keeping the wreck on our left for about 30 meters, we reach the back of the wreck where the propellers are. From here, we make a 180-degree turn, heading northeast, while emerging slowly, reaching a depth of 16 meters.

We swim through the window and enter the wreck keeping a northwestern route for 8 meters, where we exit through a window. Upon exiting the wreck, we keep it on our right side, heading towards the bow of the ship, which is located at 14 meters.

From here, we follow a circular course around the ship until we reach the doors of the ship. We enter the wreck by swimming though the doors at a depth of 14 meters, we follow a southwest course where we swim over the ship’s outdoor tables. Continuing this path, we reach the stairs of the ship, where we make a 360-degree turn to face Lady Thetis.

Here the diving route ends, and we navigate towards the shot line. The dive concludes by navigating back to the shot line for a gradual ascent, ensuring a three-minute safety stop at five meters.
