You are going to need a bigger boat Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

DiverRN: It's been 10 years and the log (slate) is gone. I'm pleased a group of 3 cachers made the trip to claim this one. The artificial reef is flourishing and every diver should go see it as OAR keeps adding reefs to the area, but it's no longer a cache.

Geocache Description:

This Log-Only geocache really is in 60 feet of water 10 miles south of Dog Island.  You may need a bigger boat and you will definitely need scuba gear!


In June of 2014 a new artificial reef was deployed in memory of Dixon Camp.  It has three "super reefs" each 15 feet high with a regular sized artificial reef module inside.  It already had fish on it a week after it was deployed.  Each pyramid shaped super reef is the center of a patch reef surrounded by three clusters of smaller reef modules, set in a triangle. Camp 1 is the southernmost of the three.

Upon arrival at the coordinates, a bottom finder is highly recommended because other than the modules, there is nothing out there but sand. You will find the super reef, the 15 foot pyramid, in 60 feet of water. Once you find it, swim 38 feet West on the 260 degree radial,  to the tip of the triangle.  The geocache slate is tethered and floating on the top of the closest smaller (6 foot) pyramid. DON'T FORGET TO BRING A PENCIL, it wouldn't be good to go into decompression mode if you forget one and have to go back to the boat.

Deployment of this reef was coordinated by OAR, the Organization for Artificial Reefs. www.oarreefs.org
