This half-mile-long, crescent-shaped patch reef is an interesting dive site since it is highly developed and similar to those of most outer bank reefs in the Key Largo area.

Go on a sunny, non-windy day, and you will feel like you belong in the Little Mermaid movie. SHallow reef bursting with wildlife. Only regret is I forgot my GoPro to record all the beauty we took in.

A premier dive site in the Florida Keys, this Treasury-class Coast Guard cutter was sunk intentionally to create an artificial reef.
Reviewed By raed452
A USCG Cutter built in the 1930s. It is a great wreck dive. Lots to see. Great fish. Lots of cool places to look inside the hull through the passageways. But it is a deep dive and so it is important to watch that dive computer. Wreck is laying on her side. A dive light really helps bring out the colors of the critters!
