Benson

Type:
shipwreck, probably a barge
Depth:
120 ft

A sailing ship or small steamship in 120 feet of water. Sandy bottom, but given to silty conditions. Like the Deep Dry Dock, she has been dragged apart, mowed down, and pulled apart. She has some nice bronze parts strewn about.

It had been a good lobster and scallop dive. It is not too often dived anymore, probably due to her shrinking condition and depth

Sea Cucumber

Sclerodactyla briareus

Size: to 6", larger offshore

The Sea Cucumber is not a worm, but an echinoderm, related to the starfish. If you look closely, the 5-way symmetry is still evident. Sea Cucumbers live buried in sandy or muddy bottoms less than 60 ft deep. Find them by the volcano-shaped mounds they make.
