Out near Islamorada, Eidsvag and Owens is a tale of two wrecks. The Eidsvag is a relatively shallow wreck, mostly broken up, but still home to a good number of grunt and snapper. Nearby, the Owens is more intact and lies a little deeper. It’s a solid pick for multi-level dives or if you’re looking to explore some smaller wrecks without going too far offshore.
