Scorpion fish, butterfish, scallops, prawns, peacock worms, cuttlefish and dragonets all go about their business among the many stationary species of aquatic life.
We see an angler fish within a minute of reaching the bottom, many tompots under the plating, and wrasse and dragonets in the coarse sand to the landward side of the wreck.
At the base of the cliff, common shrimp and dragonets were feeding off the clean white sand.
We found a multitude of interesting subjects - flying gurnards and dragonets, strange octopuses and rainbow coloured nudibranchs, and even several different kinds of frogfish.
As we slipped down a steep incline, shafts of sunlight bounced around us and colourful dragonets and little gobies darted along the sandy bottom.
Snake eels, blue-ribbon eels, exotic dragonets, inimicus scorpionfish, stonefish, seahorses and a host of other well-camouflaged species will slowly reveal themselves.
We found pygmy and full-sized seahorses, flying gurnards with their comically large pectoral fins, rare juvenile finger dragonets with bright blue anal fins, and a trio of spectacular yellow and white harlequin ghost pipefish.
Swimming onto the heavy granite sand, you will find dragonets, plaice and wandering hermit crabs.
The muddy terrain seaward of the wreck is fertile ground for scallops, dragonets and some of the biggest long-clawed squat lobsters I have seen.
