What is the wreck diving like?
Most of the wrecks we dive are about 10-12 miles offshore. The depths are all within the 80 fsw range. The top deck of most of the wrecks we dive can be reached at about 50-60 fsw. When we dive the wrecks we anchor the dive boat into the wreck with a hook and line. Divers use the line to descend and ascend. Safety stops are done on the line as well. The wrecks in our area are host to a wide variety of sea life. We regularly encounter Turtles, Rays, and Goliath Grouper. You can check out some of the artificial reef (wreck) info here. The USS Mindanao, is the oldest artificial reef ship. She rests in 85 feet of water, 11 miles northeast of Ponce inlet. She is a 446 ft. World War II, Liberty ship. Her main deck is 60 ft. below the surface. The superstructure was removed before the sinking. She suffered damage during the 1995 winter storms and the bow is now separated from the hull. Schools of bait fish, grunts, mangrove snapper, barracuda and a few anchors are often in her open holds. Sma
