Wreck Dive Sites
Scuba Diving in Key Largo with Sail Fish Scuba
Stories go, that years ago cement was being shipped in old pickle barrels on a barge that accidentally ran aground on the reef where this old shipwreck & cement barrels still lay to this day.
Wellwood Wreck and Restoration Area Reef is the most Northern corner of the World famous Molasses Barrier Reef system in Key Largo, Florida Keys.
Anchor Chain Reef dive and snorkel site in Key Largo, Florida Keys is part of the Elbow Reef barrier reef system of North America.
Built by Campbell and Co. in 1881, the Scottish steamship Acorn, collided with Elbow Reef on February 8, 1885. Heavy seas for 10 days afterwards prevented any salvage effort and thoroughly smashed the steel-hulled ship on the reef, turning it 180 degrees in the process.
The Acorn was 165 feet long and carried general merchandise, such as grain, lard and oil. It was identified in 2017 by archeologists directing a team of volunteers under the auspices of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
