The Kyalami Scuba Club

One of the most popular dive sites in South Florida, Blue Heron Bridge is an easily accessible shore dive sitting just under the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach. SPECIAL NOTE: check the tide schedule as this dive can only be made during slack tide otherwise currents will be too strong through the bay.

The Corridor Wreck Trek is a drift divers paradise This area is full of amazing animal encounters including Goliath Groupers, sea turtles, stingrays, and in the distance a lurking reef shark. Some of the wrecks in this line up were sunk some time ago so they are covered in corals and sponges.

South Double Ledges consists of a twin reef running North/South. One of the ledges rises five feet from 85 feet deep while the other is about 8 feet high from 65 feet. The end of the reef resembles a large circular bowl that is populated with fish and corals. A very good drift dive.

“Captain Mike’s” dive site is one of the most spectacular local reefs Jupiter Dive Center has to offer. It is a high ledge averaging between 15 and 20 feet in height from the sand. Divers start the dive on top of the ledge at about 75 feet over a fish-filled aquarium. As the current carries divers north to a bend in the ledge, they are often met by curious Reef sharks. Around the bend and on to the north cruising along the ledge divers may encounter Spotted Eagle rays flying south, enormous Southern rays hiding in the sand, or, in January and February, Lemon Sharks on top of the ledge for their annual visit. A little further north along the ledge, after a sandy patch about 150 feet long, a point juts out to the west indicating the deep home of “Tug” (or “Tuggle”) the GOLIATH Goliath grouper. This enormous animal is always there, but approach slowly and keep some distance because it is shy and will move away from divers. In late summer, up to ten more Goliath groupers can be seen at this spot as the Goliath groupers aggregate to spawn. On along the ledge Loggerhead, Green, and Hawksbill turtles are common. The little Hawksbills will let you get quite close for a really good look as they munch away on sponges. Large Green moray eels are residents usually found below the ledge in the crevices, frequently free-swimming. Toward the end of the dive, nitrox divers with longer bottom times will be treated to the second Reef shark neighborhood of the dive site. There are usually four to six reef sharks here who want to see who is passing through. With an amazing abundance of marine life, “Captain Mike’s” is a world-class dive site.

The Flower Gardens sits right off West Palm Beach and has a shallow ledge that contains both an inside and outside drop. The outside ledge has several fingers and starts at 40 feet then slopes down to 70 feet.
