Cayman
Salvage Master
A 187 foot (57 m) long oceangoing salvage
vessel, the Cayman is rich with sealife, particularly green morays and
other eels and the giant grouper known as Jewfish. Maximum depth is 93
feet (28.25 meters.) The deck is at about 72 feet (21.9 m) Advanced certification
or a log book showing recent diving experience
below 80 feet (24 m) is
required for this dive
This 65 foot (19.8 m) steel-hulled tug
lies at a depth of 68 feet (20.7 m) and is accessible to most open-water
certified divers. The hull was opened up by Hurricane George, and shelters
schools of snapper, as well as usually resident Jewfish and eels. The dive
is interesting not only for the wreck itself, but for the surrounding deep
reef.
Alexander's
Wreck
This US Navy destroyer escort is broken
into 2 pieces, about 100-200 yards (90-180 m) apart on the gulf side of
Key West. It lies in only 26 feet (7.9 m) making it an excellent first
wreck dive for new divers. Good light in shallow water also provides some
fine photo opportunities. Look for exceptionally large angelfish on this
wreck, and southern stingrays in the surrounding sand
Most Reef dives in Key West are at 20-40
feet (6.1-12.2 meters). We have 30 to 40 different sites to choose from;
our captains make the choice on any given day depending on conditions and
visibility
