Dive Notes:
Team drops right onto site. there is a definite thermocline at 45 ft. and water temperature changes from 84' at surface to 79' on bottom. This is small rock pile that map team measured at 66 feet (N to S)and 87 feet (E to W). Top of rocks is 65 feet. We clean off memorial placque that is on east side of rock pile. An old Bimini top from a boat is in sand by rocks at west side of site. We see a red grouper, spotted eel, and a stone fish. Rocks covered with blue- green algae, and hydroids, and a few urchins. Beautiful dive conditions to be wasted on this small site.
