Carlson South Pier Wreck
Local Name:
Carlson South Pier Wreck
Depth:
Depth is about 10 feet.
Anchoring:
This wreck is right next to the pier and there are some very shallow rocks nearby. If you must see this wreck, I'd anchor out a little ways and snorkel/scuba in to see it.

Notes:
This appears to be a landing craft of some type. Very similar to the pair on the other side of the pier. The wreck is in very poor condition. It's not too exciting.

A few words of caution are due here!
While I believe that this data is fairly accurate, one must apply some common sense when using this data. If the point of origin is a coral head, you may have anchored at a slightly different spot than I did and your bearing to the next attraction could be slightly different than mine. I suggest checking with your own GPS before rolling in!
Also, know roughly how fast you swim so that you know approximately how long it should take to reach the next attraction. You can (and likely will) miss things from time-to-time and you should know when to abort and turn around before you are too far from your boat.
I strongly urge you to try the shorter swims first and build your navigation skills. I have set the cutoff distance for this table to 750 feet, but that is a considerable challenge even for the best navigators. An error of more than a few degrees in poor visibility and you can easily miss your destination at the extreme ranges!
