The main feature of this dive site is a 185' barge which has been twisted up by storms over the years to create great swim throughs. Other items at this site include a smaller barge, concrete culverts and I beams from Interstate 595 construction, an airplane wing, and a radio tower called the "jungle gym". Lots of big creature sightings here including Goliath Grouper, Manta Rays, Turtles, Cobia, Nurse Sharks, etc.

Great dive! Have been to this site twice. There is a resident Goliath Grouper that is usually visible. Cool site to explore. Check out The Wayne 300ft to the North of the jungle gym!!
Fun dive. I really enjoyed it. Charles is right though - the depth PADI posted here is way off. This wreck sits at ~70ft. I kept at 60ft and was sitting just above it.
I enjoyed my dive here. I went with Sea Experience, and my dive computer says that I maxed out at about 64 feet; the sand was probly another 5-10 feet below that. I dunno where PADI gets a max depth of 6 meters/21 feet from.
