[edit] Description

This dive site allows divers to see 4 wrecks in a single dive. The outer buoy leads to the belly dumper, which lies in 80' of water on its side. Following the line leading off the belly dumper for 5 minutes leads to three more wooden barges that lie very close to one another at depths between 50' and 35'. Divers can expect to see lots of bass and the occasional salamander.

Dive this site by having a boat drop divers off at the outer buoy and pick them up at the inner buoy.

[edit] Access

Access this site by boat, leaving from Cornwall.

[edit] Hazards

Be sure to save enough air to get from the belly dumper to the upline at the fourth wreck.
