Would you hangout in this? This is just part 1.
This is just the bottom portion, nowhere near finished. I'm using mostly scraps from other projects. Its 6x4. I sure do enjoy playing with that plasma cutter! The pics dont do it justice really... my plan is to make another level, nothing fancy and then tie a wide strap to the top and attach to a few crap trap buoys with about 20 feet of strap, so it sticks up and maybe I can get some jacks coming. Feel free to add any input.

when you drop it it will sink in the sand try putting some say 2" strips across  the bottom about 2" apart that should work fine! reef looks good!

I was thinking you might add a wet bar, pool table and one of those stained glass lights for ambiance.  Know I wouldn't mind hanging out there.

This is for diving not fishing with a pole right?  No fishing line would stang a chance in that.  If it is for diving it looks great!!!  Will keep the fishermen from catching anything from it for sure.

Fish On!!!

I have a little bit more on it now, it should weigh probably 225?
I dont think I'll put much more steel on it, I want to try to get chain link fence to put on.

If you could put some legs so as to raise it up maybe 2-3 feet you will get more longevity out of the reef as it will settle at least a foot more than likely. I have built structures like that and you want as much vertical relief as you can get. The floats {Fad-fish attracting device} you are talking about putting on top of it will really make it more productive. Try a bunch of floats and hang about a 6 foot long piece of scrap shrimp net on the fad. That attracts the bait fish real well.

Chain link is an inexpensive  and easy material to
