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!
