Dive Notes:
This is team's first dive on this natural reef. Fish counters and dive master led team to western edge of reef where there was 5-6 ft. of relief in an area of small undercuts with rubble from much larger undercuts in the past. Map team followed and found dive master flag and northernmost pair of fish counters. Map team installed benchmark #4 at that location and proceeded south along the reef looking for other fish counters, but couldn't find them. Map team placed benchmarks #5 and #6 spaced somewhat evenly along the short run of 200 ft that made up the reef relief area. We recorded the reef edge and got GPS marks for the benchmarks.
