You can hit the Tower in 80fsw or so. The boats usually tie off at about
90-100. There is a large room immediately below the top which has nice
views out it's windows. The top of the structure slopes down to 185 fsw.
There are lots of spots to penetrate if that's what you want to do. On the
bottom
there is quite a bit of debris which is good for lobster ( I can usually get
2 or 3 between 3 & 5 lbs). There are plenty of pelagics cruising the area,
tuna and so on. You'll also find large schools of cod or pollack on the
wreck.
The vis is often 50 feet or better and quite a few times it has been around
90'. It's a pretty dive, not reknown for artifacts but well worth doing at
least
once.
