this wreck sits on a beautiful reef, alive with coral and fish
This reef (that this wreck sits on) runs from around Atlantic Blvd. in Pompano Beach to Commercial Blvd. in Ft Lauderdale. We dive this reef every weekend. Its beautiful, full of coral, fish and sea life. Recently we've seen large sting rays, nurse sharks, sea turtles and a couple of lobster. The mooring bouys are abundant also, so it makes for easy mooring. Love this reef! A good dive for beginners to advance divers.

More of a debris field than a wreck
I have done this as a shore dive and as a boat dive.

It is 1/2 mile off the shore, so it is not a hard shore dive, and is easy to find because it is right on the ledge (which is also a great dive!) marked with mooring balls.

There is a lot of debris spread over a large area. There are lobster and a lot of other kinds of wild life there.

I agree with another reviewer, the anchor and the plaque are the highlights of the wreck.

This is a really nice dive!

Great first ocean dive
I did this dive on 4/26/08 along with The Nursery. I thought it was a great first dive. It was shallow & had good coral displays (fans, vases & tubes etc)& marine life. I enjoyed it.

Overall a Fun Novice Dive!
It's to bad the airforce used it for target practice. More of the ship would have been nice!

Great for the kids
My wife and I just dove here today. I liked the fact it is in shallow water, this will make it great to bring the kids to. We also spotted a large manta ray that swam by us, but we did not get a photo of it.

Great wreck dive for a Novice diver
This is a great wreck dive for a beginner diver being that it is very shallow. There is not a lot to see, but there are a good number of fish and the large anchor of the ship.

Great 1st dive to a wreck.
Although there was not much to see besides the anchor and the bottom hull of the ship, the dive did offer excitement as not only being my first dive, but also my first wreck. The location is easy to find and the water is not deep enough to make a novice diver uneasy.

Fun Dive
The anchor and the plaque are the two key things to look for on this dive. We found both. Like many have said already, not much of the wreck remains intact. The backbone sits on a ledge that you can easily follow. I saw the biggest French Angelfish I have ever seen at this site. HUGE!

Nice second dive -
Make sure you find the plaque with the historical information about the wreck. There is not much of the wreck in tact but it is a good dive site w/ some decent fish life.
