Reef Team Barge
Physical Data
and Notes

Dive Notes:

A cloudy and breezy day in rough seas, the team dropped in on the Amaryliss wreck and drifted north over the north corridors rocks (map team cleaned off benchmark 201 as we went by)to the PBCRRT Team barge. Map team took GPS readings on the bow and stern of the barge and among some concrete rubble to the northeast of the barge where a large slab slopes upward at about a 35 degree angle toward the south. GPS marks gathered may not be the best because the GPS receiver float was pulled under the water several times due to the strong current and rough seas. Map team made a quick sketch of the area before ascending.
