Dive Notes:
This is best dive PBCRRT has done on this site because of calm seas and great visibility. Rock piles on geo-grid with concrete block skirts are doing well, while those on the fabric underlayment are sinking in sand and partially covered with pieces of the fabric flapping in the current. Most rocks in north/south alignment, but some in east/West alignment. Condition of rocks in both alignments appeared the same. What team thought was the "donut" appeared to be two parallel rows of n/s rocks separated by 20 feet between the rows. Did not appear to have closed ends at north or south ends. No one encountered the barge which may lay south and east of our southernmost drop. Rocks had many juvenile fish and we saw 6 lobster.
