Divesite: The wreck of the Skyecliffe sits upright and intact in 200 feet of water, though her massive stern superstructure rises almost 70 feet from the bottom. The wreck rests generally in line with the typically strong Gulf Stream Current, though with the abundant amount of relief the vessel offers, divers can comfortably explore the wreck with ease. The cavernous engine room is located aft of the stern superstructure, and a large deck access hatch allows access into the interior.
