Blue Heron Bridge (Phil Foster Park)
Florida · 1.5–6.1 m
Phil Foster Park under the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach is widely rated the best shore dive in the USA and a world-class muck/macro site. An 800-ft artificial snorkel trail of reef balls, boulders and small wrecks sits about 200 ft off the beach in 6-15 ft of water, while the bridge pilings and sand flats (max ~20 ft) hide seahorses, frogfish, octopus, batfish and other rarities. The catch is timing: strong tidal flow near Lake Worth Inlet means diving is only comfortable in the slack window around high tide, and a dive flag is strictly enforced.

Mandalay Verified
Florida · 0.5–3.6 m
Mandalay is a 112-foot steel-hulled schooner wreck embedded on Long Reef in Biscayne National Park. It is one of the park's best shallow wreck experiences and is especially useful for snorkelers, freedivers, and beginner scuba divers when conditions are calm. Treat it as a protected archaeological reef site rather than a wreck-penetration dive.

Morrison Spring
Florida · 3–30.2 m
Morrison Springs is a 250-ft-diameter first-magnitude spring pool on the Choctawhatchee River floodplain, run as a free-spirited Walton County park with boardwalks, a swim platform and diver-friendly access. A sandy funnel drops to about 45 ft for open-water divers, while cavern-certified divers can enter two cavern rooms reaching roughly 90-99 ft; the deeper cave system beyond is sealed by collapse. Crystal-clear water (river conditions permitting) and easy entry make it one of the Panhandle's most popular training and recreation dives.

Deliverance Tugboat
Florida · Up to 25.3 m
The Tug Deliverance was scuttled as a public artificial reef in the Escambia County reef zone off Pensacola Beach and lies on sand in about 83 feet of water, only a few hundred yards from the Soule Barge. Storms have destroyed her midships section, leaving the engine standing exposed between the more intact bow and stern. The broken hull is rich in encrusting growth and shelters snapper, grouper and clouds of baitfish.
