Phil and I hadn't dove the barge in quite awhile. We purposely went last Thursday so I could spend some time futzing around with my wide angle set-up. With every visit over the years, there are larger holes on top and more of the walls have peeled away. I didn't think to document more of its deterioration as I became preoccupied with a school of black croakers and ran out of time.

We used to find uncommon nudis on the sides near the top, but now the sides are caving in.

A couple days before this, we dove Haggerty's crane where garibaldi males are guarding their new nests. Vis at both sites was ~8', but we saw croakers here too, with a few rubberlips tagging along. I tried some trick shots. :)
