I had the "good fortune" to dive there looking for HMS Hussar with Rob McClung my Whydah buddy and another friend. The current was so bad we had to wear 80 pounds just to stay on the bottom and while decompressing it stood us out like kites as we held on to the anchor line for dear life! We had to get all kinds of shots and permission from the health department to do the project. we did not find Hussar either.
