MADIDIR
Description:
A southern muck site, this is a shallow (2-3 m.) sand flat leading to a slope down to 20+ meters where the bottom remains you of the craters of the surface of the moon. All sand. A cargo ship has been sunken on the shallow sandflat. A bit different from sand sites within the Strait, it is hit-and-miss here, but there can be an exceptional variety of venomous fish, juveniles and pipefisher and their relatives. The site is named after the nearby village.
Depth:
28 m maximum depth
