Dive
site: The Anchor
Anchor
- Directly on the top of the wall at 35 feet lies and
enormous old anchor. The shaft is about 8 feet long and the
flukes are nearly six feet across. Estimates place the
anchor at well over 100 years old, and while the ship is not
known, it is of the type and era of the old British warships
of HM Royal Navy, which did frequent the area. Today it is
heavily encrusted with coral and sponge life, and still
connected is a chain, which extends west over the wall ,and
gets lost in the coral growth about 6 feet. Each link of the
chain is dinner plate size. But the marine life here is also
something to been seen, For some reason it is generally one
of the "fishier" dive site (ask about Grunt Rock) and Also
reported on the site are frogfish and the rare fingerprint
cyphoma ( small mollusk) The anchor is a winner day or
night! |
