These pictures are from March 7, 2010. According to my sources, the story of the second barge was probably a misunderstanding so I visited the one that does exist. Visibility was 30-40 feet when I started swimming out from Setchell Point. The water was full of millions of pin head-sized jellyfish. On the swim across the sand, I watched several giant nudibranchs hunting tube-dwelling anemones. As I swam farther into Deep Cove towards the wreck, visibility dropped to about 20 feet. The old barge sees to be even more collapsed than last time. Big groups of perch and black rockfish are still hanging out. I saw a small vermilion rockfish hiding in the jumble of wreckage near the stern. I took a bunch of natural-light (no strobe) photos of the wreck so if anyone wonders why some are greenish and some are more blue-greyish, it's a white-balance software thing.
