Reefs and Wrecks


Pennekamp Underwater State Park offers tours to some of the most
diverse and exciting ecosystems in the world!
These are some of our favorites:

Molasses Reef
Winding sand channels twist and turn
through living walls that are home to a wide variety
of organisms. Flowing sea fans, massive brain corals
and multitudes of sea life in this impressive tongue
and spur reef system.

French Reef
A patch reef that will take your breath
away lies just below the surface at this pristine
location. Southern rays, Moray eels and silvery permit
dart and dive through the numerous caves and caverns
that makes this reef so memorable.

Wreck of the Benwood
Sunk in 1942 after a collision
with the Robert C. Tuttle, the Benwood lies between
French Reef and Dixie Shoals on a bottom of low
profile reef covered with pockets of debris that the
corals have taken over as well. The waters on and
around the wreck are teeming with fish life of all
shapes, sizes and colors.

Key Largo Dry Rocks
This serene and peaceful setting is the home to the infamous
"Christ of the Deep" statue, placed in these clear
waters in the summer of 1965. The reef surrounding the
site is very shallow with depths ranging from 2 to 20 feet and
shelters one of our beautiful pillar coral colonies
and a collection of ancient brain corals.


The Horseshoe
Vibrant purple sea fans, sea whips and staghorn corals
of various shapes and sizes dominate this alluring
seascape. Juveniles of all species peer out from
small hidden tunnels and narrow crevices at their
underwater visitors. Caves filled with copper sweepers
and other life pocket this well preserved location.


The Elbow
A fairly shallow tongue and spur reef system surrounds
and enrobes the wreck of the Tonawanda. The steel hull
is highly visible along with lengths of chain and
pieces of the vessel scattered throughout the area.
Yellowtail, bermuda chubs, wrasse and sergeant majors
swim up to divers and snorkelers alike with playful
curiosity.
