Jenny Lynne - California
The Jenny Lynne wreck sits upright in around 20 meters of water, easily accessible by boat from the Monterey area. We often find large lingcod lurking in the holds and greenlings darting among the deck plating. It's a straightforward dive, typically with mild currents, making it a good option for divers looking for a relaxed wreck exploration.
