The Isis wreck is located latitude -38.134717 and longitude 145.097133. The wreck lies in ten metres of water, on a flat sandy bottom, little current affects the site. Visibility due to the outflow from Kananook Creek is often poor. The main features of the wreck are the boiler and engine. The compound steam engine originally installed into the vessel was removed and replaced by a 100 LIP motor, which remains on the site today. The boiler is intact and upright, but with the furnace door broken off and lying not far away.

The only intact part of the hull lies buried under the sand below the boiler and engine. A small section of wooden frames and planking protrude from the sand on the starboard side of the engine. Part of the hull is also visible around the base of the boiler, and in one section, there are five large brass bolts protruding from the timber, with some still having brass nuts still attached. To the west of the wreck site, this being the seaward side, a small amount of wreckage is visible consisting of three iron knees, and a section of timber 1.5 metres in length. The fastenings attached to this timber, along with most fastenings visible on the site, have been cut off at timber level.

Most of the visible wreckage is on the east side lying close to the boiler and engine. A broken section of mast lies with rigging still attached, partially underneath the deck winch. The base plate for this winch lies just beyond that. In this area also lies a single bollard, a two metre section of timber, also with fastenings cut off, and the flywheel from the engine which is broken in two, but both pieces are visible. The northern end of this site (the stern) has little to be seen. A small section of lead pipe appears in the sand just beyond the engine, this being about two metres in length. Further to the north lies a large section of timber, three metres in length - this one has retained its fastenings. Visible amongst the wreckage are three rubber tyres, these probably were used as fenders as the age of the tyres relates to the period of the Isis. Copper sheathing is also to be seen in many places around the wreck site lying on the sand. There is no evidence of any wreckage forward of the boiler above or below the sand.
