As others have said its about 23m depending on tide.

On neaps you'll get slack about 1hr before to 1hr after milford high and low water. On springs you may not get a slack.

Due to the bottom composition the vis can be horrible especially if a SW wind has been blown in.

The wreck itself lies upside down in the haven. It used to be a fairly dull dive as it was literally just an upturned hull but apparently 2-3 years ago a storm broke it open so its possible to see more of it now (rumour is someone got a bell off it too).

It isnt permanently buoyed but you can find it with a GPS combined with a sounder enough but as it doesnt stand that proud its a little hit and miss on the sounder. I have got good GPS marks for it but its on the RIB set and dont think i have it backed up here but will have a look.
