Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - The Breckenshire offers some of Florida Springs's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
The Breckenshire offers a unique wreck dive in the freshwater of Florida Springs. It’s an interesting change of pace from the typical reef or cave dives here, a compact wreck that's surprisingly intact. You can swim through a few open compartments, imagining its past life before it settled on the spring bed. Look closely, and you’ll often spot freshwater turtles resting on the decks and schools of small fish darting in and out of the superstructure. We’d suggest this one for divers looking for something a bit different, perhaps as a second dive after exploring a nearby spring cave.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
