These three barges lie end-to-end in water less than 50 feet deep. A variety of marine life inhabitat the area.
Actually the depth averages 50 ft. There use to be a large turtle that hung out there and was very aggressive. Some A?? shot him a couple years ago. I remember one dive we made there I was watching my buddy moving in the hold of the barge which was basically beams and cross members no plates and he was about to shoot a grouper and the turtle came up behind him and grabbed him by the fin and pulled him out of the wreck. I almost drowned laughing because my buddy thought it was me.
That same turtle bit the mask off a diver one weekend. He got use to being fed by the mindless spearfishing divers who thought it was cool to feed him.
