The Wreck Today: Sitting upright in 75 feet of water, the Wilma is a popular dive site out of Port Dover. The main features of the wreck are the stack that lays along the port side, the boiler, and the forward hatch with ladder leading below. Care should be taken due to the fish net around the wreck.
