Vis was good, marine life was great, had a big hawksbill swim right at me & dove at the last second just barely swimming under me. I love wrecks & this was real cool. I would revisit at a later date. I was there on 7/15/08 in the A.M., no current

...but this was my least favorite dive in FKNMS. On this day, 7/14/08, A.M. dive, vis was good, marine life was poor & I felt that the reef at this spot was over visited, wasn't as vibrant as the others. It was nice to see the statue that I have seen often in photos though.
