The Eagle Wreck

The Eagle Wreck is a very popular destination for Islamorada dive shops - everybody visits it regularly. This 287 foot freighter was donated by Eagle Tire Company for the enjoyment of sport divers and fishermen in 1985.

The ship lies on her side (the side they wrote the name on, of course!) in about 110 feet of water, offering about 25 feet of relief and easy access to the cargo holds and superstructure. It's easy to kick up some silt inside the wreck, so be careful when penetrating.
