The wreck is laying on its side at the sea floor, so the orientation of the structures looks odd. Otherwise it's a very cool site!

The problem is if this protected area, my idea cannot be fulfilled because I need to bring a big gun as props.

    The "urchin barrens" are bad!!! Result of giant sunflower sea stars locally extinct. The cause is sea star wasting disease started in 2013-14. Sunflower stars were natural population control for urchins. The sea otters wont even eat them as they sense the urchins are in starvation resting mode so no "uni" inside worth eating. Smashing the urchins with hammer can be counter productive if urchins are at breeding time the eggs/sperm gets released in clouds and makes it worse!
