The name of the reef is no longer Atlantis memorial Reef, it is Neptune Memorial Reef now. not sure why the name change.
The GPS coordinates for this site that are given as of 11/16/07 on here are incorrect by about 1/2 mile. But if you ride around where the belzona is you'll see the reel balls. They now have about 5-6 Big white Morring Buoyes set up on this site. They said as of this month that they had put some structures in the water at this site. About 30 days ago I dove down 2 of the Buoys and found only sand. But I did not have time to dive the other buoyes. They may be more promising. On their site they have a video of the underwater reef (link below) I dont know if the whole video is fake or if just the fish are computer generated. The video was posted 16 days ago, so maybe structures were even placed below after I checked it out a month ago. I do hope they leave morring buoyes on this site though, it will prevent their structures from getting ripped out. Any one else dive this site or have any info on it, please let us all know? I found this photo of the site, it appears to be real. I'll look better next time i go out http://miamisbest.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/bottom_benches_2.jpg There is also this photo, but I don't know if its comp. generated http://blog.scifi.com/tech/pics/Neptune-grave.jpg Here is the Video of the reef, I know know if its all computer generated or if just the fish are. http://blip.tv/file/456474?utm_source=aolvideo&utm_medium=aolvideo Reply | Report to Moderator |
