Off the coast of Florida, the Charleston Sixty Reef and its accompanying 240 Barge offer a straightforward wreck and reef dive. We often find the visibility here can be decent, revealing a mix of corals growing on the natural reef alongside the structure of the barge. It’s a good spot for divers looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents, where you’ll likely spot some reef fish sheltering in the nooks and crannies. This site suits those who appreciate a casual exploration of both natural and artificial structures.
