Princess Anne Wreck
Physical Data
and Notes

Dive Notes:

Very tough dive on deep wreck in strong current with low visibility. Very easy for buddies to get separated and group scattered. Wreck is quite collapsed from Hurricane Wilma--deck collapsed into hull. Stern and starboard hull give relief in water column. Superstructure has collapsed from pilot house forward. Map team cut dive short because of strenuous conditions moving around wreck. Team saw two goliath grouper around wreck.
