Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
Dive #1 - Dove to the first smaller ship. Saw lots of very large rainbow trout while trying unsuccessfully to navigate my way to the helicopter.

Dive #2 - Dove to the crane and the helicopter. Saw lots of very large rainbow trout. Would love to go to the trolley at some point but it’s 70’ deep.

Dive #3 - 4:55 - 5:35 - Started by Pensuila and dove to the crane, plotted an unsuccessful course to the trolly but reached the ship which I followed ropes to the cesna and the large tanker (pretty cool). 54’ max depth,

20-30’ visibility with a lot of silt kicked up by novice divers. Great place to learn to dive and practice.
