Carlson Barge
Local Name:
Carlson Barge
Depth:
I'm not 100% sure on the depth here as I have only snorkeled over this one. I am estimating that it must be in the 30 foot range or so.
Anchoring:
This wreck is located just south of the Prinz Eugen and could possilby be a little side excursion while doing the Eugen depending on how you are doing on air. Otherwise, there is no real trick to this one. Just look for a suitable place to anchor nearby.

Notes:
This is one "wreck" that I haven't actually dove. We marked this while passing over it in a boat. It appears to be a simple barge and does not appear terribly interesting.

Nearby Attractions:
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!
