It is easier to understand if you work west from the third reef.

There are sand patches between the reefs - sometimes very large (between 2nd and third reef), sometimes small (in this area between 1st and second), and sometimes there are sand patches within the same reef structure, this is what you see at the first reef at LBTS. I read somewhere that you can tell the second reef because of the flat limestone formation at the shallowest portion of the second reef.

The blue line is the straight line from SeaWatch restaurant to the Copenhagen.

Interesting. This is how I learned the reef lines

Sure, but for reference, look at the Copenhagen, it is located on the second reef line.

some told me that what the map calls reef line 1 and 2 is all "the first reef", and that the long swim out that you mentioned is to "the second reef".

sounds like you would agree with the terms on the map though, so that's good to know.

We’ve called the red star the second reef

In the diagram, there is a blue line from shore to the Copenhagen wreck. The Copenhagen wreck lies on the second reef. The area you called the first reef contains the wreck of the Copenhagen, as such, your diagram is wrong.
