Join OUT SCUBA on Key Biscayne March 29th. Head straight to Diver’s Paradise, just on the other side of the Rickenbacker Causeway. There is convenient parking and an easy drop-off experience. Their team is known for making divers feel well-prepared with access to any rental gear needed and welcome. Described to us as a “bougie” dive experience by a local in the know, we can’t wait. We’ll be hitting a wreck and a reef on this trip:
Belcher Barge is a 195’ steel barge was sunk in 1985 by four explosions at each corner and the barge turned over on its way to the bottom. Experienced divers can swim inside the entire length, passing through the holes that were cut in the bulkheads.
This is one of our more popular dive sites as it sits right next to other wrecks that can also be explored on the same dive. Divers Paradise recently installed rebar markers every 10 ft that lead you to the other wrecks so you don’t get lost.
The Neptune Memorial Reef project is the largest man-made reef ever conceived and provides an extraordinary living resting place for the departed, an environmental and ecological masterpiece, a superb laboratory for marine biologists, students, researchers and ecologists, and an aesthetically exquisite, world-class destination for visitors from all walks of life. The most innovative concept in artificial reef design is currently emerging in 50-feet of water, 3.25 miles east of Key Biscayne, Miami. Wrapped in the silence of the clear blue ocean a new reef is evolving. The Neptune Memorial Reef is attracting recreational scuba divers, as well as homeless fish while enhancing the coastal environment and reducing demand on other fragile natural reefs.
For those coming from Fort Lauderdale and points North, carpool options are available! We hope you’ll join us for the camaraderie AND our first dive in the heart of Miami.
Out Scuba believes that better trained divers make safer divers and increases the enjoyment of all participants on any dive. We include any training session(s) on our calendar because it is by an Out Scuba instructor member, offered only to Out Scuba members and includes reduced rates or added benefits you would not get if you registered for the training directly. Out Scuba, however, does not offer training, does not benefit financially from registrations, does not certify divers or instructors, does not vet or approve the instructors, and does not recommend any training or agency to you. If you believe this training will be of benefit to you, we encourage you to contact the organizer and satisfy any questions you have before you sign up.
