Dive-site story
Running parallel to the southeast Florida shoreline, the reef system off southern Broward County is structured across three distinct parallel limestone tiers separated by sand flats. Diving here is characterized by effortless drift diving as the northward Florida Current sweeps over low-relief hard coral ledges, sea rod gardens, and large barrel sponges. Undercuts along the western ledge faces provide resting habitat for nurse sharks and sea turtles.
Linear limestone reef ridges and rubble flats ideal for relaxed drift diving
Sponges and gorgonians hosting schooling reef fish and macro life
Frequent encounters with green and loggerhead sea turtles resting along ledge undercuts
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Summer brings warm water, lighter winds, and consistently flat seas, though diving is viable year-round.
