Thirty metres onto the south coast's signature wreck.
The Rangoon is the wreck the southern season is built around. Thirty metres to the bottom, structure still legible, and enough visibility through December to April to actually see the shape of the ship rather than a series of disconnected plates. Advanced Open Water and a computer, no exceptions.
