Lowrance

The midship area stands out as the most captivating part of the wreck. Here, divers can discover intriguing remnants and witness the passage of time. Unfortunately, the upper decks have suffered significant collapse over recent years, but the midship section remains relatively intact. For divers with the necessary training and experience, the Lowrance wreck offers an exciting circuit through its engine room. Access begins on the main deck via a hatch. Descending through a hallway, divers eventually find themselves above the engine room. Gorgonian-choked skylights allow ambient light to filter down, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. These openings illuminate the catwalks lining the room’s perimeter. Once inside the engine room, divers encounter a maze of equipment, pipes, and machinery. The space is both awe-inspiring and eerie. Divers can move around the various components, appreciating the engineering marvels that once powered the vessel. Keep an eye out for hidden corners and intriguing details. When it’s time to ascend, divers have two options: Large Holes: Several sizable openings were intentionally cut into the wreck during its preparation for sinking. These serve as exit points. Explosive Charge Hole: Alternatively, divers can exit through a smaller hole created by the explosive charges that sent the former freighter to the ocean floor.

The Lowrance sits about 2.5 miles offshore. There is frequently some current there so divers will need to hot drop. The wreck of the Renegade is found approximately 700 feet due north of the Lowrance, should divers find themselves on the bottom and with a north current, go with the current and either the Lowrance or Renegade should appear.
