Bad viz this day but very neat to see intact tanks sitting on the bottom of the gulf.

The M-60 Tanks are cool and they really stand out on the flat bottom. A lot of blocks around the area but a nice dive overall. I used my boat on this site (21’ Maxum Sports Deck) and it was a bad day to be out that far. After dive ran over to the lighthouse which was real cool.

I dove this site in August 2009 after heavy local rains. The visibility was [6’. The tanks are cool and there were a number of fish, but you had to be right on top of them to see them. I did this dive with a local charter and got paired up with a guy working on his advanced cert who swam off without me leaving me to surface early.
