Between what the charts indicate the depth to be, and how far out the pipe is still visible from the surface, that pipe is lying on the bottom in between 20 to 40 feet of water. It's only because of its bright color that it contrasts so well against the depths. There are probably many others out there.
Valid point, but then again, someone could just as easily snag a water pipe by legally anchoring during the day.
