Scuba Diving Shipwrecks in southeast Florida
There are many choices of shipwrecks to dive in the Palm Beach county area of
Florida. Scuba diving on shipwrecks is fascinating, educational, and
relaxing. Scuba diving at shipwrecks offers excellent opportunity to
observe a great variety of wildlife with little or no swimming, and provides
excellent conditions for photography and videography.
Is diving on a wreck difficult?
Diving a wreck does not have to be difficult. Some wrecks are suitable for
newer divers, some wrecks should only be dove by highly trained divers.
Fortunately, right here in the Palm Beach area of southeast Florida there is a
complete range of wrecks for you to dive.
For example, the Copenhagen is a natural wreck that is only 35 feet deep and
usually has great visibility. Another wreck that is not very deep is The
Ancient Mariner, which lies in water only 70 feet deep. Both of these are
suitable for newly certified divers during good weather. A popular
artificial wreck is the Sea Emporer which was a barge intentionally sunk near
Boca Raton. There are occasions when the current is a bit intimidating for
newer divers, but it is also a great place to see many sting rays. If you
are not experienced diving artificial and natural wrecks, you may enjoy your
diving more if you hire a guide to personally dive with
you.
For those that are not-so-new divers, we also have the priviledge of diving
wrecks such as The Captain Tony, the United Carribean, and many more.
These wrecks are as much as 110 feet deep. These are very enjoyable scuba
diving experiences which require only a 20 to 30 minute boat ride from the dock
to the dive site. We also provide dive-guide services to recreational
divers on these wrecks. Our
underwater communications option allows us to
point out features of the wreck and enhance your comfort level.
