El Capitan - This is a really incredible wreck. Not claustrophobic, pretty cavernous interior with tons of coral and barnacles growing inside the wreck. Marine life is everywhere here from minnows to huge angelfish and lion fish.

LCU - Sunken LCU from World War II. Much bigger than I thought it would be. This was a great wreck, smaller than El Capitan but the damage to the hull and deck made it much more fun to swim through.

All the wildlife lacking from the reef was here. Puffers, Jack fish, angelfish, tons of different anemones and corals.

This wreck allows a surprising amount of penetration options and is tremendously photogenic from the inside. Bring a camera next time
