The Best Places to Go Scuba Diving in Palm Beach County

Img

South Florida, particularly Palm Beach County, is known for its Scuba diving. Here are a few of our favorite spots.

Juno Ledge

65-95 feet; drop-off plummets up to 20 feet as you drift with turtles, sharks, tropicals and schooling fish including Atlantic spadefish, grouper and snapper.

King Neptune

55-60 feet; this nine-foot statue of King Neptune and his turtles stands just south of a dramatic ledge with a big overhang large enough for several divers to through.

Loggerhead Reef

55-70 feet; boulders broken off the main reef identify this dive site, with the bulk of the rubble on the west side. Compared to Bahamas diving because of the topography, this area begs to be explored.

Reformation Reef

55-80 feet; cathedral-like blowouts in the reef are exciting to investigate, with nurse sharks, turtles, eels, crustaceans and bottom fish in abundance.

Rio Jobe Reef

65-90 feet; a spectacular reef with 15 to 20 feet of ledge relief with crevices and boulders offerings, multitudes of hiding places to marine life. Lobsters, morays, bottom fish take refuge in the reef cuts, and the schooling fish have to be pushed out of the way to see the reef!
