About
- Dive through time as you learn the history of one of Key West's famous shipwrecks during a guided shipwreck dive. All dive trips include a dive master/guide and tanks and weights.
- Advanced Open Water Dive Certification Required*
- Hundreds of species of plants and animals, including coral, crustaceans, fish, sharks, sponges, seaweed, anemones, can live on and around shipwrecks.
Shipwrecks are teeming with a fantastic abundance of marine life. Many marine animals and plants need to attach themselves to something to live, and shipwrecks provide a home for them.
Vandenberg wreck
The Vandenberg wreck lies approximately seven miles south of Key West and sits in 140’ of water, the main deck is at 95’. The wreck sits upright and is 522’ long and 71’ wide. Prior to being sunk to create an artificial reef on May 27, 2009, the Vandenberg served in World War II as an allied military troop transport ship. Following the war, she served the U.S. Air Force as a missile satellite tracking ship. The ship was prepared and sunk with divers in mind. This wreck was rated as the number 1 wreck in the world by the readers of Scuba Diving Magazine. She’s the second-largest artificial reef in the world and a bucket-list dive for many experienced divers!
The Vandenberg is an advanced deep dive & not suitable for newer divers and/or divers with a limited number of logged dives.
