This was a really neat dive site - we started at the beach behind the sea watch and swam out (half hour surface swim) to the mooring buoys, dropping down just south of the anchor and monument plaque. We went north along the wreck and continued on to explore the ledges a little further to the north, before following the ledge back around to the wreck. Saw a spotted spiny lobster, a big grouper (briefly), rainbow parrotfish sleeping, and lots of other fish.Other divers in the area saw a spotted eagle ray on the way in and out. Also worth seeing is a field of staghorn coral about halfway out to the dive site. Weighting at 4 lbs with my steel 120 was OK, even at 500 psi. I could probably drop another 2 pounds, or all of it. The current picked up on the way in , and I didn't have an opportunity to do a buoyancy check. Next time. I feel much better about diving with the Faber HP 120 after this dive.
