In December 1991 the ship reportedly sank within 10-20 minutes of striking the reef preventing an orderly evacuation using the lifeboats, resulting in the deaths of over 470 passengers, with only 180 survivors. The ship itself is resting at a depth of 12 to 30 meters (39 to 100 feet) on its starboard side with its bow doors wide open. On descending, the port side of the ship is merely 12 meters below the surface and is surprisingly intact. The lifeboats with the distinct “S” emblem are indications that they passengers didn’t even get the chance to lower them.
Diving the wreck is perhaps one of the eeriest experiences as claimed by most divers, due to the tragic history, the wreck itself littered with debris such as luggage, personal belongings and furniture, and the fact that despite being underwater for over a decade, the wreck is barely covered in coral.
