Does anyone have the numbers for empty pockets?

It's marked with a bottle if you know the general location.

If no one has the numbers I will try looking for the bottle but my boat is pretty low to the water and I have not had much luck finding bottles.

That bottle can be tough to find. Senter Cove Guy and I had been on that wreck a number of times without the aid of the bottle, and one time missed it, then later in the boat drove around in circles for a while -- still no bottle. He came back another time on his PWC and found it no problem. Depends on the light and the surface chop (as well as how old & algae-covered the bottle is).

I know he attached a new bottle to something this year -- perhaps it was Empty Pockets...can't remember. At any rate, it turns out that whatever the target was, it already had a bottle attached that no one was seeing. He could shed some more light on that site.

But Diver111's SSS image, linked above, has some numbers on it. Regardless, I think if you're in that general area and look around @ 55 feet, you're likely to hit it. Good luck!

Sorry I looked no coord. for that. Grant is right it sits at 55'.

Try this-as you look at the island-the NW side-almost to the end-look for 55 feet of water keeping the raft on your left. It's about 60-80 feet south from the raft, and out. If you went much further North you would start to round the N side of the island.
