Dive Florida's R.J. Thompson Wreck

0:00Divers in Florida have a prime spot to check out some Coast Guard history, the wreck of the RJ Thompson Tudboat. It's sitting upright 25 miles off Enclogue Key in the Gulf of Mexico, about 72 feet deep and it's turned into a thriving artificial reef packed with sea life. Back in February 1983, a brutal no-name storm flipped the vessel and sent it to the bottom, creating this underwater gem by accident. Several dive outfits, like Narcos' dive center, now were in trips for certified divers to explore its intact structure. Captain Dave Williams calls it a standout site where you drop down the anchor line and watch the silhouette emerge, buzzing with baitfish, grouper, even sharks. Divers rave about the marine action, though Gulf visibility can shift with the weather. These two tank dives give you plenty of time to soak an in, and the spot draws a steady crowd from the dive community, loving the mix of history, and wildlife.
