Any pirates out there? This looks like it could be a real interesting dive!

Captain Kidd pirate wreck to be a living museum
 
I dove this site back in December. All that really remains to be seen are the cannons, and they are completly incrusted in coral. The immediate ares of the dive site was great, since just past where the cannons are at about 15' the area drops off a wall to a sandy bottom at 80'. Saw a pod of lion fish on this dive, and multiple other species. We were on a two tank dive with "scuba fan", and the divemaster only stayed in the immediate area of the wreck for a few minutes. The divemaster told us that the university that escavated the sight striped it of everything they could. Where it is located its amazing that it took over 300 years to find.
