Ancient Mariner
Type: Anchor Dive
Depth range: 50 ft. - 70 ft.
Skill level: Open Water Certification
Length (160 ft.). Former USCG Cutter 'Nemesis' that was decommissioned and turned into a floating restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale. Due to her aging hull and the fact the restaurant was condemned for the largest outbreak of food poisoning in the history of Ft. Lauderdale, she was sunk as an artificial reef in 1991. (We recommend you don't eat anything while on the wreck.) Among it's most recent dinner guests are Great Barracudas and a large Moray Eel. The Mariner's close proximity to a natural reef create an abundance of marine life. Also 150 degrees 150 ft. SE of her bow lies The Berry Patch Tug. When the conditions are right you can actually do both on the same dive

Aqua Zoo/Sea Emperor (twi-light dive)
Type: Anchor Dive
Depth range: 50 ft. - 70 ft.
Skill level: Open Water Certification
The 'Aqua Zoo' is the nickname for an area next to the wreck of the Sea Emperor (*see Sea Emperor description). It was given this name for the diversity and size of marine life that inhabits this wreck. We began bringing food and interacting with one stingray in 1996 and since then it has blossomed into the 'Aqua Zoo'. We offer an interactive marine experience including large southern rays, Goliath Groupers (200-300 lbs.), nurse sharks, eels and hundreds of other fish. No longer due you need to travel to far off destinations.Named 'The stingray dive you can drive to' by Skin Diver Magazine. The Aqua Zoo has also been featured on numerous television shows around the world including 'Wild Things' and 'Adventure Crazy'.

*The Sea Emperor was formerly a hopper barge that was donated as part of a fine levied on a dredging company that destroyed some reef habitat of Palm Beach County. She was filled with large concrete culverts and sunk off Boca Raton. When the barge sank it flipped, scattering the culverts and landing upside down creating a fantastic playground for fish and divers alike. The Sea Emperor is also home to Goliath Groupers, eels, stingrays, nurse sharks and hundreds of other fish. This is a photographer's paradise! Penetration in this wreck is safe. There is light and access to surface in every chamber.

Lighthouse Ledge (night dive)
Type: Drift dive
Depth range: 45ft-67ft
Skill level: Open Water Diver

A favorite reef for Dive Operators on rough days due to the close proximity to Hillsboro Inlet and Lighthouse. Ironically Lighthouse Ledge is one the best reefs in Broward County. In addition to the abundance of marine life, there are large soft corals adorning the northern hook in the reef.

Captain Dan
Type: Anchor Dive
Depth range: 75ft-110ft
Skill level: Advanced Open Water certification or proof of experience. Length (175ft). The Captain Dan, formerly a US Coast Guard buoy tender, was sunk in February 1990 as part of the Rodeo Reef. This is also a Florida Boating Improvement Program Reef. Hurricane Andrew caused very little damage to this wreck. Large barracuda, grouper, amberjack, and other schools of fish frequent this wreck.

Touchdown Reef
