Site details

Artificial reef made from decommissioned oil-platform structures off the Broward/Hallandale area. Three main structures are in recreational deep-diving range, while deeper components push the site toward technical planning. The steel framework attracts coral, sponges, reef fish, pelagics, turtles, and sharks.
