That's a good question Chris - I should have been paying better attention to maps and such as we were approaching the island. Here's a resonse to another posting I made regarding a flashlight I found at that site.

I've always felt that each boat or crew often has its own name for a particular site. I'm not 100% sure on my recollection of the name of this site on San Clemente - Hideaway - but I could be mistaken. I didn't have a map with me, but here's my best guess: we had not made it around Pyramid Head - maybe 1.5 to 2 miles further up the frontside to the northwest. And we weren't as far northwest as Mosquito Cove either. Looking at a topo map now, my best guess is this location:

N 32deg 50.50min
W 118deg 22.51min (NAD 83)

Our dive boat was the Sand Dollar. The Vision was anchored next to us for part of the day as well.
