Delray Wreck

Divers often inquire about "beach dives." Well, this wreck is probably one of the best, safest and most famous beach dives along the Gold Coast of Florida.

A steel-hulled freighter, she sunk in the 1920's and has become a very popular diving location for beginner divers. She is easily located by sighting the dark shadows on the surrounding white sand bottom. The depth to the sand is approximately 22 feet.

There are many varieties of soft and hard corals which have virtually taken over the structure due to age of the wreck. This is an excellent place for macro photography as due to the shallow depths and the amount of subject matter, you can literally spend hours! Boat traffic can be heavy, especially on the weekends, so be sure to bring your dive flag. The wreck as a mooring and this does tend to make boaters a bit more aware of divers and snorkelers in the area.
