Additional Information
This site is normally very clean but storms have brought in debris both man made and natural.
A large quantity of resort beach towels were found covering the reef. Many divers collected then and stashed them in a submerged fiberglass box from a ship that we also found but was unable to remove due to its size. It it approximately 7 x 3 x4 feet. This kept them of the reef until we could get them out.
