Exciting Dive Locations

 

 

 

 

Southeast Florida has up to three reef lines, starting within a mile from shore. Each reef line has its own unique topography and underwater habitat.

Hard corals, sponges and gorgonian's are plentiful in every reef line. With the flow of the Gulf Stream along the Florida coast, drift diving is the most common type of dives we do here by boat, and some are within beach diving limits.

  • 1st Reef line - 12 - 25' feet of sea water (Pompano Drop off)
  • 2nd Reef line - 30 - 40' feet of sea water (Horseshoe Reef)
  • 3rd Reef line - 90 -120' feet of sea water (Hog Heaven Reef)
 

Southeast Florida is known as the Wreck Diving Capital of the World

 

There are nearly 150 shipwrecks sunken underneath our blue warm waters, from Fort Lauderdale to Key Largo. They were not sunk by an iceberg but were put under the sea on purpose to create an artificial habitat for marine wildlife as well as an underwater dive destination. Many of these ships have been under the sea for several decades and have many hard and soft coral life grown on top of them.

 

Beginner wrecks sites:

  • US Copenhagen (sunk 1942) 12-25' seawater
  • Delray Wreck
  • The Jay Scutti

Intermediate wreck sites:

  • Budweiser Barge 60-97' sea water
  • The Rolls Royce
  • Sea Emperor

Expert wreck sites:

  • The Duane 60-130' sea water
  • Tenneco Oil Rigs
  • The Mercedes

The sea has transformed these pieces of metal into sunken "beauties."
