I was really hoping it was going to be the cannon. I still haven't seen that.

I think it's Dick Cheney's safe where he keeps his water boarding documents.

Rest in Peace...
Oh Goodness! You mean I am the only one who has seen this thing? Matt, my deepest gratitude for photographing it.
Far left of the picture you see the round thing I kept trying to explain. This thing was near anchor blocks, it is always found when I'm swimming back into shore. We were trying to get to the metridium fields and never found 'em, so I guess you can imagine going out to where you think the met fields would be, going parallel to shore for awhile (and being somewhat lost..err, exploring) and then taking a 210 heading back in.
Time of day, well it was morning, depth was shallow in <35', dimensions: that "tire" thing on the left was about 18" in diameter.
Next time I explore across it I'll surface. I know I said that last time, but this time there was a camera with us, I thought for sure someone would say that it was something that everyone knows by some great name, like the cannon. Which isn't really a cannon.

I've never seen it... and I often take a direct heading from the Met fields back to the wall... I might be a bit further out though because I usually hit the cannon then the bend in the wall . Might be worth tossing an SMB up one of these days when you find it again and take some bearings so we check it out in person... 
Multiple angles might help.
Wait really? You're crushing my dreams! What is the cannon really?

A piece of pipe angled up from the bottom, with a flange on the upper end and a couple of short pieces of pipe attached at 90 deg. angles on the underside. The Geocache is on the seaward side on the seabed, near the upper end.

Kristina, what time of morning, i.e. what was your entry and exit time, and if you have it what was your dive time when you saw it? This info will allow me to establish the tide height with resonable accuracy and correct it to the MLLW shown on the contour map. When you were swimming parallel to shore, were you heading SE or NW? On your way back in from where you thought the metridium fields were, did you cross the Big Pipe on 210? When you surfaced at the end of your swim in, what was the bottom depth at that point? What point were you opposite on the beach?
