Take a look at this reef map, we are headed to Matlacha on Pine Island and just curious
if any one has dove on any of the sites, Sanibel, Doc Kline, Causeway, Belton Johnson?

Maybe some good spear fishing in these areas?
Yes, lots of good spearfishing off the Sanibel and Ft. Myers Beach coasts.
ARC reef site (about 15 miles offshore) has steel towers, a sailboat, and other items. 60' depth.
BOXCAR reef (closer to 18 miles off, and further north) has, imagine this, several railroad boxcars that attract alot of fish. 60' depth.
Visibility at these sites, in my experience, is usually 10-30 feet, depending on time of year.
I just dived G-H reef yesterday, which is closer to shore in 30' of water, only about 5 miles offshore. There are several barges down there that attract alot of sheepshead, snook, grouper... Saw a massive goliath grouper yesterday. Viz was poorer due to its proximity to land, maybe 6-8'.
Later this spring, I understand that Lee County will be sinking an old USCG cutter, the Mohawk, at the ARC site. Will be pretty exciting, as it'll be the largest artificial reef we have over here. Some details I found:
