Doc Poulson Wreck (West Bay)

19° 21.6′ N · 81° 23.9′ W

A small wreck on the West Bay reef close to the much bigger Kittiwake - an easy add-on dive with its own DoE mooring.

Practical

Position is the DoE public mooring 'Doc Poulson Wreck' (2023 GPX); Virgintino lists a 30-inch buoy at 50 ft. Pair it with the Kittiwake (about 250 m north-west). West side, settled trades only.
