Title: Bevington Object site
Post by: Mark Gillespie on January 26, 2016, 07:16:45 AM

Hi all

I know the BO location has been visited, and almost certainly nothing remains there - but just wondering if it might be worth a closer look. Might it be possible to visit the location again, under similar calm and low water conditions, and have a look with some underwater gear? Maybe some metal remains in the groove...

cheers
Mark

Last June the Dive Team inspected all of the grooves on that part of the reef.  No metal.  The grooves are high-energy environments. A metal component would have to be securely jammed to stay in a groove very long.
