Site details

Artificial reef built from 200' Steel Ship, the "Almirante"

reefwreck

Hurricane Andrew (1992) twisted the stern to port and collapsed the midships section — treat those areas as unstable and avoid getting under loose or hanging plating. Partially collapsed sections create entanglement and entrapment risk for divers who penetrate without training. As a National Park wreck, removing anything from the site is prohibited and rangers do enforce mooring/anchoring rules.
