I got local Richard to film my dive on the Stav. He has an awesome camera and films in HDV - not expensive but the film was amazing. Get him to film your dive - contact stow600572@yahoo.com

well worth seeing. Though you have to be a deep certified diver to see the best bits. Penetration is possible, as you fin through the cabins and up staircases. The mast is pretty spectacular with various sponges and turtles common- this makes a great safety stop!!!!

Penetration is no longer possible as the wreck is falling down. Suitable for all so long as depth is not an issue as the deck is 25-30m, the sea bed 35-40m.
