Jessie Beazley

 

Army auxiliary supply ship (AK), Jap. "Yuso-sen"
Sunk on 24 September 1944 by US Air Group twenty-seven Hudspeth's Division

Location: Close to the Club Paradise Resort, which is located on Dimakya Island

Access: By banca from Club Paradise or overnight from Coron town

Conditions: Normally calm with medium currents and generally better visibility than the wrecks to the south of Busuanga Island. Visibility is often around 20m (66ft).

The ship 136m (449ft) long, 6,492 gross tons, sits almost upright with a 15 degree list to starboard, pointing 160 degrees (compass bearing) in 43m (142ft) of water. The main deck slopes from 22m (72ft) to 28m (92ft). The wreck is almost intact and easily penetrated, with cars and trucks in the holds. An excellent dive.
