Popular Reefs and Wrecks
Anchoring Spot
Central County
70-85 feet; a top ledge dropping sheer to another ledge. Lots of undercuts loaded with fish. Second ledge to the west slopes steeply to the sand.
Bath and Tennis
Central County
40-60 feet; just east of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's seaside mansion, this prolific reef is appealing to divers who enjoy the ledge relief and numerous fish.
Boynton Falls
South County
70-80 feet; large overhangs and deep cuts on the outside of the reef house large fish, nurse sharks and turtles.
Boynton Ledge
South County
50-70 feet; this ledge plummets down almost 20 feet with many holes, which are home to lobster, morays and other marine creatures.
Budweiser Bar
Boynton
85 feet; a 150-foot coastal freighter top at 65 feet, deployed in 1987. A popular site, the wreck is easily entered and hosts a myriad of sea life among its mature coral growth.
Cross Current Reef
Palm Beach Inlet
A 195-foot barge full of limerock boulders sits across the current. Big piles of limerock boulders to the south and two limerock boulder arms extending north complete this reef. Lots of fish can be seen here including large goliath grouper. A short swim northwest about 500 feet brings you to the Tri-County Reef, a reef constructed from concrete stormwater catch basins and light poles in 1989. This reef has numerous and diverse fish and corals on the concrete
Fish Bowl and Sea Aquarium
Central County
40-50 feet; massive schools of fish can make it hard to see the reef, but divers swim with them, identifying different species swimming together.
Flower Gardens
Central County
42-70 feet; a beautiful reef abounding in coral, gorgonians and sponges, inhabited by schools of tropicals.
Genesis Reef
Boynton Inlet
80 feet; an area of concrete culverts, placed by the Artificial Reef Program, attracts fish and crustaceans. Loads of hiding places to explore make this a fun dive. Nearby, connecting the Genesis Reef and the Budweiser Bar, is the Boynton Corridors - limestone rocks 1-3 feet in diameter, creating a rock corridor.
Governor's Riverwalk Reef
Lake Worth Inlet
90 feet; 4-wreck site of steel ships seized by U.S. customs in efforts to fight drug smuggling on the Miami River. Once turned over to the Artificial Reef Program, portions of the wheelhouses were painted with seascapes and sunk in 2002. Limerock boulders were deployed, creating corridors between the ships. With the limerock corridors connecting the ships, many more fish and benthics have adopted this location.
Grouper Hole
South County
80 feet; groupers have made this cave home for years. The reef slopes eastward in fingers.
Gulfstream Ledge
South Lake Worth (Boynton) Inlet
45-80 feet; a long, wide ledge with eastern fingers descending to the deepest point. Low caves undercut the ledge in places and gorgonians and coral cover the walls.
Horseshoe Ledge
Central County
50-70 feet; this ledge plummets down almost 20 feet with lots of holes for exploring for lobster, morays and other marine creatures. The western side curves around in an arc and is home to a large variety of tropical fish.
Juno Ledge
North County
65-85 feet; drop-off plummets up to 20 feet as you drift with turtles, sharks, tropicals and schooling fish, including Atlantic spadefish, grouper and snapper.
Loggerhead Reef
North County Jupiter Inlet
55-70 feet; boulders broken off the main reef identify this dive site, with the bulk of the rubble on the west side. Comparable to Bahamas diving. Because of the topography, this area begs to be explored.
MG111
Jupiter Inlet
A 195-foot Hopper barge that, when deployed in 1995, contained 1,000 tons of concrete light poles. This small barge has always attracted a large and diverse assemblage of fish and always has several large goliath grouper. Immediately to the north of the MG111, 600 tons of concrete poles and columns from demolition of the old Jupiter High School were deployed in 2005. Many of the columns remain upright and attract schools of grunt, snapper and grouper.
Mizpah/Amaryllis/PC1174
Palm Beach Inlet
90 feet; drift diving makes it possible to see three wrecks in one dive; the Mizpah, a 185 foot-long Greek luxury-liner; the PC1174, a 165 foot-long patrol craft; and the 450 foot-long Amaryllis, all part of the Artificial Reef Program. Connecting the Amaryllis to the Murphy's Barge and the Mizpah/PC1174 to the Amaryllis are lime rock boulder corridors that attract thousands of fish.
Northwest Doubles/Shark Dive
North County
80-90 feet; marked by a dramatic ledge slashed with undercuts where reef sharks congregate. Tropical and large game fish abound.
PEP Reef
Lake Worth Inlet
This reef consists of 228 large triangular modules: PEP prefabricated erosion prevention modules. They were relocated to their present location in 1995 from Palm Beach, where they had been deployed in an attempt to prevent beach erosion. They are arranged and stacked in 25 feet of water surrounded by sand. This reef attracts a wide and diverse assemblage of fish where more than 90 species have been counted on one dive. A cloth reef with large limerock boulders attracts thousands of juvenile fish.
Princess Anne
Palm Beach Inlet
105 feet; 350 foot-long car ferry sunk in 1993. Shortly after deployment a storm separated the wheelhouse from the main ship and set it beside the hull, increasing the Anne's complexity, attracting more marine life. Sharks, grouper, barracuda, parrotfish and Atlantic spadefish are seen.
Royal Park Bridge Reef
Lake Worth Inlet
This large reef, encompassing almost three acres, was deployed in 2000 and 2001. It consists of over 20,000 tons of concrete pieces from demolition of the old Royal Park Bridge, with several barges added to increase habitat diversity. Lots of grunts and snappers are present as well as goliath grouper.
Sea Emperor
Boca Raton Inlet
A 171-foot Hopper barge that, when deployed in 1991, contained 1,500 tons of concrete culverts. When it sunk, it turned turtle and dumped the concrete out, and the barge landed upside down beside the culverts. This configuration made a unique habitat always covered with many fish. Many corals and other benthics have encrusted the concrete. South-southeast of the Sea Emperor is a limerock boulder corridor that connects the Sea Emperor with the United Caribbean, a 147-foot cargo carrier deployed in 2000. This tall ship attracts large schools of grunts and snappers.
