Gene Childs Memorial Reef

I didn't get any great photos on this dive because it is a deep dive, and frankly I was suffering from a major bout of Nitrogen Narcosis--yes, I was narced. For you non-divers, that means I was high while diving deep. Enough about me, about this artifcial reef:  Old Mexico Beach dredge boat deployed in deep water (~ 120 ft). This reef is named for Gene Childs, a charter member of the Mexico Beach Artifical Reef Association.
