Description:

This is further south from KVI Tower, but this is another great site.  Three barges that are in various stages of decay are next to some dolphins.  There's also a 38 foot pleasure craft, and a rock pile.  Lots of life to be found here.  I finally made it to the rock pile for a night dive.  Very cool!  I've done this dive from a small boat and from Bandito Charters also.  This is a great boat dive site, as you can tie up to the pilings/dolphins and have quick access to a great ascent/descent to the abundant life.  There are lots of things to see here, even though the barges are not holding up so well.  I recommend the rock pile, if you haven't been there yet.  It's out from the end of the conveyor belt that's on the pilings.
