First tech dive off the new boat. David gave us a perfect drop, with the current we were right over the barge with 100ft of vis in the clear blue water. 66 degrees on the bottom was chilly, but we managed a good dive.

Black Grouper dove for cover as we came down. Several large hogfish came close for inspection.

It lies North/South and all the debris is on the North side, it shifted as it sunk. It makes a great home for fish as I didn't see the blacks at all on the dive.

Due to the depth, I set the pitch to slow and hovered over the wreck as we slowly ascended to take the whole thing in.

This site is not for everyone, it isn't that big. But once you've dove almost everything else, its a site to go check out!
