Sneak Peak / Wreck ID Quiz

[beldridg]

Hi everybody,

I'm working on a long & detailed post about yet another unique SoCal wreck dive site with a very interesting back story and should publish it next week.

In the meantime, I thought I would have a little fun and post a photo to see if anybody can identify it in advance (no fair if you are a friend of my dive buddy on that dive and already know the answer!).

One hint: It is about 300' deep.

Yes, you do!

We were scheduled to go with Justin but I just wasn't feeling a 300' dive that day.

Full post should be out on Monday or Tuesday.
