The oil booms washed up on shore and broke apart, they are still there, they are just piled up on the beaches now.
I would love to re-map pickens if you guys wanted to spend a day out there doing it! I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of where everything is but seem to find something new everytime I'm out there
The pipe organ (aka rocket launcher!
) is straight down from the big tire and spikes, as you are going down you should see a pipe with a tire around it, keep going down from there and just to the east you'll see it.The jeep is out in the middle of no where, head down to 23-25ft and just swim east and you'll run right into it.

wjefferis (Walter) has a long tape he purchased to remap Fort Pickens. He has been tied up with work lately. He told me that he should be free here in the next few weeks. He was very excited about remapping Pickens. He also has a good knowledge of where everything is. PM Walter and you might be able to set something up. Let us all know if you guys work something out. We might be able to make it a Deep Dixie Diver event....and for the record, I still like the "Pipe Organ" name over the rocket launcher.

What exactly is the "pipe organ"? The "jeep" looked more like a gulf cart
to me. I would be game for a DDD event!
Thanks for the pics Glen!

The pipe organ was the first thing we went to after we landed on the toilet, the place where the octopus was, its the box that has pvc pipes in it
Glen, thanks for the report, love diving there.

The only thing left of the jeep is the frame now. To find the gold cart, go to the jeep frame and then go up to a depth of 25 feet. Go due East and you will run right into it.
I would love to get out and map Ft. Pickens. I just need a couple of interested people. I will be free to get out and dive on a regular basis in just a couple more weeks.
From reading recent Ft. Pickens posts it sounds like most are not going out to the pipe/culvert and then out to the drum or over to the fishing pyramid and debris behind it. Things aren't covered up are they?
