Dive Notes:
Team drops in on fish station #1. Site appears much the same as when we last dove this site. Reef material covered in silthy sand and much is buried. The large obelisk is half buried in sand. Map team cut away fishing line caught on some corals on concrete beams. We see a big trumpet fish, a legal sized lobster in crevaces between concrete poles, and a small southern stingray. There are many depressions in the sand throughout the site from stingrays. After swimming around the site three times, map team surfaced.
