PBC divers revisited the structure in late
February 2005 in conditions of better
visibility.
“ Large schools of juvenile jack fish were
seen on and around the structure. Very large
groupers have found a home in the lower
part of the structure . A number of juvenile
bannerfish, large and juvenile batfish. Many
damselfish and fusiliers. Snapper, sweetlips,
coral trout, angelfish and a porcupine fish
were all present.
