This large, intact deck barge was intentionally sunk in 1982 as an artificial reef. It lies in 65 feet of water about 6-1/2 miles east of Pensacola pass. Divers can find snapper, grouper, triggerfish, amberjack, and numerous species of tropical fish including blue angels swimming about the wreck. This site is considered by many local divers as one of Pensacola’s safest dives.
