November 2006 Pretty good dive site but not what I expected for Southern Florida. Use South Beach Divers, great group that was very professional.

Wreck Dives:

Here are the wreck dives we know of for Key Biscayne.

DEMA Trader
The DEMA Trader (formerly known as the GGD Trader) is a 165-foot-long freighter in 80 feet of water about 3 1/2 miles off Key Biscayne. The ship was seized by U.S. Customs for carrying drugs, and was sunk October 28, 2003. The ship is keel down in the sand with the stern lying in 80 feet of water and the bow in 75 feet of water. Large openings were cut in the sides of the superstructure to allow safe penetration dives into the former galley and cabin areas.
19m / 62ft
26m / 85ft
Deliberately sunk: 28-Oct-2003 Wreck penetration is possible. Technical or decompression diving.

Spirit of Miami
A 727 jet sunk in the Key Biscayne Artificial Reef Site on September 8, 1993, in 82 feet of water. During the 1995 hurricane season, tropical storm Gordon broke the 727 in half. The nose, forward fuselage and wings remain on site while the tail section now sits in 110 feet of water 150 yards to the north east.
26m / 85ft
35m / 115ft
Deliberately sunk: 08-Sep-1993 Wreck penetration is possible. Technical or decompression diving. More info...

The Orion
The Orion provides a perfect introduction to Miami artificial reef diving. Sunk in 1981 off Key Biscayne in the south, it was the first ship sunk by the Dade County Environmental Resources Management Artificial Reef Program and is still one of the best and most popular dives. Located in 95 feet of water and with a profile of 30 feet, its a mature wreck with lots of colorful marine life and coral growth.
21m / 69ft
30m / 98ft
Deliberately sunk: 22-Dec-1981 Wreck penetration is possible. Technical or decompression diving. More info...
