Typical Hazards & things to watch out for
- Descend close to shore and ascend close to shore.  Boats are in the area as this is a Marina!!  They do stay out of this
little bay though.
- If you access the site and descend with the rock wall on your left and close buy, there is a cinder block with a line
attached on the bottom.  Follow this line and most of what there is to see is close by or attached to the line.  This also
helps with navigation as well as surfacing in the wrong spot may put you in the boating channel.
- The items to see such as Culvert, Barbie Dolls and a toilet are all located close to the line
- I have only dove this site twice now and the first time it was 45 degrees top to bottom and 1 week later it was 61
degrees top to bottom.
