"Worm Patch is the landmark at 30 FSW defining the south end of the sand channel. Most divers begin and end their dives at this point. It is a large oval shield of tube worms rising a couple feet above the sand. Its south end is surrounded by rock and kelp while the north end is open to the Sand Channel."[1]

WARNING! OpenDiveSites.org is a community-run site. While we do our best to keep information up-to-date, no content on this site should be construed as authoritative, complete, or correct. Scuba or free diving and other aquatic activities are inherently dangerous and can pose a risk of injury or death; the information on this site will not mitigate that. We hope you find our information helpful, but we must never be your sole source of navigational information, awareness of dive conditions, site hazards, or legal restrictions -- it is a repository of community-submitted content, not a divemaster.
