Is the space station at Millbrook still there?

We tried to find it this weekend and couldn't.

We entered at beach 2-1/2 went to the right, followed the line down to the plane and then turned and headed back. I saw the platform with the line to the plane on it on the way back, and we also saw a desk hanging down from some lines. There was also what appeared to be some old chain that was anchored into the rock, with nothing attached to it. That was the last manmade object we saw along the ledge.

We tried to hug the wall in the 25-30 foot range but never found the space station. We ended up exiting at the sloped exit past beach 2-1/2 (yes, I'm aware this is not an official entry/exit).

I'm guessing we could have missed it as the viz was only about 10 feet, and that was if someone hadn't silted it all up in front of you. It did open up to about 15-18 feet viz at the van/hot tub at 75 feet though.

Just curious if it is still there.
 
So I was talking to one of the guys at TheDiveShop about this (since they maintain it), and he says the space station broke apart and is in three big chunks on the bottom of the quarry.

They haven't had the opportunity to do the recovery yet.
 
Ok, that makes more sense. I know the viz was bad, but I was sure we'd run into it along the top of the ledge if it was still there. Thanks for the info.
