    The Betsy Ross Reef, centered around the YO-224 wreck, offers a solid dive for those exploring Florida's artificial reefs. We find schools of snapper often circling the superstructure, with barracuda patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a straightforward wreck dive in reasonable conditions. Visibility can vary, but we often get 15 meters here.
