Dive Notes:
This is team's first data-gathering dive on this wreck. Team could find no evidence of the Rolls Royce wreck sunk in the vicinity of the Eidsvag ship. Eidsvag is broken in three sections. The bow is upright and adjacent to the NW corner of a barge that is south of the wreck. Stern section is rolled onto its port side. Amidships is broken apart and collapsed into the hull and flatening it. The bow and stern provide 15-20 feet of relief above substrate. This is a very interesting wreck dive. Map team GPS'd SE corner of barge, the Eidsvag bow and stern. Map team saw two 6-8 foot long nurse sharks on the barge.
