180 Reef Balls 27"02.47' N/82" 38.81'W
Offshore on the "M-4" Reef Balls, visability was much better (30 feet) and the team observed fish concentrations that where higher than the monitoring teams have ever encountered before in this area. Divers encountered massive schools of pelagics including Spanish Mackerel, baracuda, jacks, and many other. Also observed were abundant reef associated species including grouper, snapper, angelfish, jewfish (one jewfish was estimated at 6 feet in length), flounder, and many more. Growth was also excellent.
