First off the GPS coordinates given for this site are 1/2 mile off. The Correct GPS coordinate are:
N 25 42.044 W 80 05.391 to the exact mooring buoy.
Also, the name is now Neptune Memorial Reef.
It is about a hundred yards west of the Belzona.
Look for 10 big white mooring buoys. Hook up to the one on the north east side it has a big ugly yellow one right near it. As of 12/26/07 this is the only mooring buoy that has anything underneath it. Some of the others just have big blocks of cement near it but that's not really exciting.
The visibility was 60' with a slight-moderate current. And depth for this site is 35'-45' There are many 25' columns, 2 10' Loins, starfish statues, and some other interesting things down there. Since the site is still in progress, there's only maybe 60'x60' of cool things to look at down there. Taking only 30 mins to look at everything there.
There are tons of fish, big game fish and tropical, lots of sand dollars and sea biscuits just below the sand. a few hermit craps, and one 15-20' long Tritons Trumpet Snail (how fitting of this reef!) There is no coral growth as of yet put a few meters away from the reef are lots of rock sponges.
This is a nice quick dive with lots to see. I hope they continue to add to this reef to really make it one great dive.
The only dive shop that I know of that dives this reef is Tarpoon Lagoon Dive Shop next to Montys in South Beach.
I also posted up my photos of this dive.
