Dive Notes:
Team drops in NW of Paradise wreck. Map team moved NE to find benchmark #1 and cleaned it off. We then found benchmark #2, and cleaned it off. Measured distance from #1 to #2 at 86 feet. We swim due north from #1 to #3 location and place a new #3 benchmark at the same location. On the way to #3, team saw 175# Goliath Grouper among the culverts. Map team's objectives were accomplished.
Team had to be careful on ascent as current on surface was 1.5 knots to north carrying divers into channel for the Palm Beach Inlet. Team came up on the dive flag and pick-up went smoothly.
