Pompano Beach is known for its white sand beaches and sunny skies, but what many visitors don’t realize is that some of its best attractions are found beneath the waves. Just minutes from Sea Gardens Beach and Tennis Resort, guests can discover incredible dive sites filled with marine life, colorful coral, and even historic shipwrecks. Whether you’re an experienced diver or a beginner snorkeler, the underwater world here offers an unforgettable adventure.
Dive Into History with Shipwrecks
Pompano Beach is often called the “Wreck Capital of Florida” thanks to its collection of artificial reefs and shipwrecks. Divers can explore sites like the SS Copenhagen, a 19th-century steamship that sank in 1900 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are also more recent additions, such as decommissioned ships and structures deliberately sunk to create thriving reef ecosystems. These wrecks are teeming with fish, making them both fascinating historical landmarks and natural habitats.
A Reef Lover’s Paradise
For those who prefer natural beauty, the reefs just offshore provide some of the best snorkeling and diving in South Florida. The waters are warm, clear, and home to everything from angelfish and parrotfish to sea turtles and rays. The nearby Pompano Drop Off is especially popular, where divers can descend along a coral wall filled with vibrant sponges and schools of fish. Beginners can enjoy shallow reef areas, while more advanced divers can venture farther out for deeper experiences.
