Jim Atria & Captain Dan (Advanced/Technical)

Jim Artia (132') The 240' Dutch freighter was sunk in 1987as part of the the Broward County Artificial Reef Program. She has shifted position over the years as she is large and storms have been tough. She used to be totally lying on her port side, but In 1992, Hurricane Andrew moved her to 132' and into a more upright position. She has 2 large masts and they are still attached. As she is deep, she is covered with corals, sponges and fans. She is great for photographers, advanced and tech divers. The cargo hold is home to large schools of fish, Glass Sweepers, jacks, snappers, and grunts.
Captain Dan (depth 112') Sunk on February 20 1990, this 175-foot coast guard buoy tender is one of the most “covered in coral” wrecks to dive on. Because this vessel is so large, you can easily swim through many areas without seeing other people. A favorite section is the outside hall passage where you have to avoid fans and whips as you swim past. There are many passages and rooms for penetration. And you will usually see a few resident goliath groupers scurrying from section to section to stay out of your way.
