"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]

To find Worm Patch, swim out to the kelp-free channel and look for Doggy Rock. Line the peak of the Rock with the summit of the hill behind it and with the tip of Coal Chute Point on the other side.
