Dive Notes:
This is PBCRRT's first dive on this natural reef. Visibility was mediocre. Very nice western face of reef that creates a ledge with undercuts. Ledge offers 8-10 feet of relief. Map team dropped on ledge and Harvey and Angelo installed benchmarks 1, 2, and 3, while Connie and Dave got GPS readings of the benchmarks. Fish counters did not appear to follow mappers (possibly because of poor visibility) and counted fish further north along the reef. However, Janet and Bob Hersey followed mappers and were counting fish in the vicinity of the benchmarks.
