Betsy Ross Reef - Bridge 3
Abundant Cudas and moom jellies. Vast sea life and healthy growth on hull. Limited vis during tidal flows.. Plan to arrive on site 1 hr before low or high tide. Take a good light. Can be difficult to anchor on the wreck as there is no mooring buoys present. Also dont miss other sites at reef 175 ft tug, tanks, subway cars. Yes you will see some very large sharks on this dive but food is so abundant on this site thjat you will be noticed as the scary black thing with bubbles that they dont want around them. One of my best dives in last 5 years. 8.4 nm from Port Royal channel entrance buoy "2PR."
