Last 10 Diver reviews for Yukon:
The Yukon is in colder water and the visibility while generally good is closer to 20'-40' on standard days. The wreck continues to gain fish life and is teeming with life. There are Metridian Aneomes all over it and they are colonizing every square inch. I have personnally found at least 12 different varieties of Nudibranchs on the hull and there are resident Mantis Shrimp finding a home in the sandy bottom. The mulitude of diver access holes that were placed in the ship make penetration much easier. There are labels on the holes which combined with a dive slate provide some level of comfort in moving thru the ship. As the ship has a narrow beam it appears that in any compartment there is at least 2 exits and at most one compartment to the outside. A very interesting dive that continues to change. Michael
