Another full tank can be spent on this section of the ship - the bow.  Plenty of equipment, several rooms, an advanced penetration dive, plenty of photo-ops. It's also the main access to the stairwell and hall that leads past the kitchen, dining areas, and several rooms. This hallway eventually winds up at a "T" junction that takes us to storage, upper deck access and the boiler room.

Bottom line: Lots to see here!!!

 
The bow area is the only part of the ship that spans all the decks, from the top most railings to the bottom most bilges (now filled with tons of concrete.) The chain locker area (basically everything under where the number 10 points) is definitely a more advanced dive!

The arrows indicate the direction the lens was pointing and the corresponding photo number. Each image will open a new window.  Simply close it to return.
