Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - Cooper River - Moncks Corner offers some of Florida Springs's richest channel diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
The Cooper River at Moncks Corner is a spot for artifact hunting, pure and simple. Expect low visibility, often just a few feet, as you sift through the silty bottom. It’s not about coral or fish, but the thrill of uncovering fossils and historical pieces. This site is best for divers with good buoyancy control who enjoy the treasure hunt aspect of diving, rather than marine life observation.
