I have dove there several times. It's a fun but shallow dive (max. depth 28' if I remember correctly) with lots of critters. There is part of a ship near a partially submerged pile, which appears to be part of a mast with a crows nest. There is probably more stuff around but we were to busy taking pictures of the critters to notice a whole lot. The area itself is fairly large on the map but we only dove the corner with the submerged pile.
Another area you might want to try is the Gap which is also off of Marathon. It's about 80' on the ocean side and 55' on the Keys side, with a wall of coral and rock with all manner of creatures around.

"The Gap" huh? I've got to try that. It sounds fun. I know the piling where
you dove...I used to fish near there before becoming a diver. I dove it a couple of years ago and brought a bag to fill with doubloons. Turns out I didn't need the bag though. Thanks for the info.

It is a very cool, unintimidating dive with lots of sea life. We saw barracuda, turtles, jellyfish and many others. Shallow with good vis. Easy to find- look for the mast sticking up out of the water! You will probably enjoy it.
Also post at or watch Florida Conch Divers for more info.
