Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - Reef J - Tug Rio Apon offers some of Florida Springs's richest reef diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
Down in the Florida Keys, the Tug Rio Apon sits upright on the sand, a solid wreck dive without being overly challenging. We often find schools of snapper and grunt milling around the superstructure, with barracuda holding court above the wheelhouse. It's a great spot for newer wreck divers looking to get some penetration experience in relatively calm conditions, though sometimes we hit a bit of current.
