Nitediver - 8/05/2018 9:51 AM Rating Added: 4 This new wreck is very open with pass-thrus everywhere. Not much life on it yet. Upright in about 125 feet at the very bottom. Several dolphins showed to check it out, but left quickly. Will go back. 2 hours out so if you get seasick, counter measures are needed.
