We ran across them as we were headed in and out. We also used some of the objects (the sailboat, trimaran, and houseboat) as destinations for compass practice.
It's not shown in this pic, but you get the idea. We weren't really doing the course, this trip was to practice navigation (so I didn't want him to have the lines to help him), to deal with a 6mm Farmer John wet suit on a 95 degree day, for him to gain more appreciation of thermoclines (and what they do to your buoyancy and regulators), and to feel (again) some rather chilly water (50 degrees at 60 feet) when the surface waster is 82, and the air temp was in the 90s. There's a lot to teach these new divers about the sport and the art behind it. And I'm giddy to pass it all along.
