Dive Notes:
This is the second dive on this reef site in the same day. Mapping team will try to get GPS marks on the western side of the reef site. We get marks on Sha Sha stern, western rockpiles #1,2,&3, St. Jacque stern, and the fireman's rock with placque. All four wrecks are broken apart with the midship area collapsed onto the substrate. Only the bow and stern area of all ships provide relief in the water column. The visibility was deteriorating from the earlier dive, and the current was slightly stronger. Map team cut bottom time short and took extra time at the safety stop before surfacing. Again we appeared to have accomplished the mission.
