Dive Notes:
This is the first dive on this wreck for the PBCRRT. Wreck is broken up badly, with bow to the south and pointing toward the surface. The stern is on its port side with the wheelhouse broken away and laying to the east near small patch reefs. Mid-section of wreck is mix of sand and hull plates and ribs. Small two-man submersible is among the midship debris. Map team gets GPS readings on the bow, wheelhouse, and stern. Other team members reported sighting a loggerhead turtle to west of stern.
