I agree - the coordinates shown on "official" maps are slightly off... maybe because the coordinates were taken from the "drop location" on the surface and things tend to drift on their way to the bottom.

The last time I visited the Artificial Reefs, I found a lot of crab buoys all around the artificial reef locations. I'm not sure exactly when crab season starts/ends for that area/species, but they're a good reference so you're not wandering COMPLETELY aimlessly.
