The Prosper is an easy dive wreck suitable for divers of all levels, although the exposed location close to the fairway suggests that you should have a reasonable degree of control over your balance, which is true of all diving. You should also have some navigation skills as you will be swimming back to the boat, and bear in mind that the narrow strait sometimes has currents, so it is advisable to carry a surface marker buoy.

If you feel it would be more relaxing not to have to find your way around or keep an eye on currents, you can join an organized excursion with a dive club or dive centre to dive with a guide. There are several operators who organize diving on Prosper.
