Diver's Notes

Good with 12lbs.

After diving the Hellcat we surfaced with about 2000psi of air and left all of our gear on and motored over to Triple Anchors and got back in the water after only about 20 minutes. This site is an old WWII Degaussing station consisting of a large concrete octagon, a smaller piece of concrete and three anchors with chains, maybe 50 yards long each in a triangular formation. Ships would pass over this to de-magnetize their hulls so mines wouldn't be attracted to them before heading out into the pacific.

Lots of fish around the octagon and was fun to cruise along the chains and anchors and look for little nudibranchs and other critters. Saw a couple shrimp. Others surface raving about seeing Leaf Scorpionfish, but I didn't see any, unfortunately. They mostly left us along to meander on our own on this dive because you couldn't really get lost as long as you stuck to the following the chains.
