Richard, wasn't it with you that I did Saltwater, back when it was a tire reef? And we came in at low tide and had to wade FOREVER, and all of us whined about it? :)

It might be a while.

A) I am swamped with school work. Haven't even taken my gear out of my car yet.
B) The school week is about to star, giving me even less time to edit it.
C) I have extremely limited experience with video editing.
D) I don't even know if it turned out well.

I will post it when I get around to it though.

Lol.... I didn't wannt to tell you 'NOT' to do it on a low... some things are better thru personal discovery.
:-D

High tides way easier... glad that you found all 3 barges... most people only find one or two the first time... good job!... while its not imo a great dive its still very much well worth doing occasionally.

Nah, I knew it was going to be brutal on low tide (like Saltwater), but we had already scheduled the dive. It will not be happening again though =P
I actually did like the site though, and I would love to do it at high tide

The swim in underwater at high tide on a sunny day is pretty cool.
