THIS CACHE IS FOR HIGHLY TRAINED DIVERS DO TO THE DEPTH.MY DIVE BUDDY JOHNRJET AND I PLACED THIS CACHE IN 102 FT OF WATER ON A HIGH OUT GOING TIDE SO DEPTH MIGHT VERY A FEW FT.YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A .5 GAL COLEMAN WATER JUG. IT IS HELD DOWN BY TWO BLOCKS AND IS FLOATING OFF THE BOTTOM BY ABOUT 3 FT CHAIN.JUST BECAUSE A TRUCK TIRE WAS THERE WE PUT THE BLOCKS IN IT.
CACHE IS AT OCTOPUS HOLE AND IS A CONSERVATION AREA AND IT IS A VERY POPULAR DIVE SIGHT. AT PEAK TIMES DURING THE SUMMER THERE CAN BE LOTS OF DIVERS HERE AS IT IS A GREAT TRAINING AREA AND ONE OF THE BEST DIVE AREAS IN THE SOUND.
POSTED CORDS WILL GET YOU TO A PARKING AREA,TO GET TO THE CACHE GO DOWN THE MAIN POINT OF ENTRY.FROM HERE TAKE A HEADING OF 121 DEGREES.THIS WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE DIVE SITE AND INTO THE DEEPER WATER AWAY FROM OTHER DIVERS. THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON FOR A PERSON TO BE IN THIS AREA AND THAT IS TO FIND THIS CACHE.
ABOUT THIS DIVE SITE THERE ARE TWO MAIN POINTS OF INTEREST 1ST IS THE MAIN WALL . IT IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE ENTRY POINT AND STARTS AROUND THE 35 FT MARKER AND GOES TO ABOUT THE 60 FT MARKER. THERE ARE LOTS OF OCTOS AT TIMES A FEW WOLF EELS AND MANY FISH.2ND IS A TIRE REEF IN ABOUT 35 FT ALSO AND IS NOT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE WALL.
CACHE CONTAINER HOLDS A GREAT FTF AND SOME OTHER STUFF . IT ALSO HAS A DIVERS LOG FOR YOU TO SIGN.PLEASE BE CAREFUL ITEMS COULD FLOAT AWAY.
PLEASE ONLY ATTEMPT THIS CACHE IS YOU ARE TRAINED TO DIVE THIS DEEP.
PHOTOS WILL APPEAR AFTER CACHE POST.
NOTE- I HAVE ADDED THE DANGER ICON TO THIS CACHE FOR A FEW REASONS, HEAVY TRAFFIC AS THE CACHE PARKING IS ALONG HWY 101,SECOND IS THIS CACHE SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY CERITFIED DIVERS WHO HAVE THE TRAINING TO GO THIS DEEP.
THIS AREA IS USED BY 100S OF DIVERS EVERY YEAR AND IS A SAFE PLACE TO USE IF DONE AS IT IS MENT TO BE
