Dive Site Information

The Anglin pier reef is definitely one of my favorites local dive spots on the reef. Because of its location most of the charter operators don't go there. So if you have a chance to get out of this reef is excellent. There are literally hundreds of dive sites in this area and we will be choosing the dive site based on the day's activities i.e. hunting for lobsters, underwater photography, spear fishing etc.

The Dive Plan:

2 Dives 2 Locations

We start off the day with an exploration drift dive on Anglin Pier Reef located on the third reef system, followed by a second drift exploration dive also on the third reef system in a different area. The reef drift dive location will depend on visibility and current. We typically leave that up to the captain's discretion. We have 45 min. to 1 hour on each site. Air and bottom time permitting.

The departure dock location for this dive trip is located in Pompano Beach.

Our Local Reefs

Our third reef system is part of the third largest barrier reef in the world. The system runs from Miami all the way up through Palm Beach with small breaks in between the reefs. The majority of the third reef systems profile is 45 feet on the top dropping to 60 to 65 feet on the west facing side and 80 to 100 feet on the east facing side.

Resident Marine Life

This is a well-established wreck site and there is an abundance of marine life that resides in the area. It is common to see large schools of small and medium tropical fish, stingrays large and small, eels, lobsters and the occasional Turtle or Eagle Ray..
