Does anyone know if the Chikuzen mooring is in position and if so, is its condition okay for use in calm conditions?

Thank you.

Did not get to dive it last trip but heard it is damaged and broke in two. Is that correct?

Didn't dive it personally but was told the same by crew. Lots of life but the wreck is broken in two.

The mooring was there about a month ago, but the wreck is very different. The stern is about the same, but coming towards the bow, you drop down onto the engines, no superstructure now above the engines, after the engines the wreck has collapsed completely with the bow being totally flat. The cranes are no longer attached to the wreck, but just lay on the sand. There was still a lot of marine life.
