Divesite:

The wreck of the D.E.M.A. Trader rests upright and intact in approximately 80feet of water just to the north of the tug Rio Miami and to the west of the Sarah Jane artificial reef site. Large openings were cut in the sides of the superstructure to allow safe penetration into the former galley and cabin areas. Tons of concrete culvert pipes and junction boxes were also loaded into the ship’s cargo hold to produce additional complex habitat for marine life.
