Benwood Wreck
Key Largo, FL
Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Boat
Rented a boat and gear from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. First time navigating off-shore! Current was a little stiff on the descent, but at the bottom it was negligible. Wreck was in fair shape, the bow was demolished due to it being a nav hazard. Lots of wildlife, eels, nurse shark, 1 turtle. When we descended, it was sunny. When we surfaced, we were in the middle of a downpour! Was planning to dive on Christ of the Abyss, but had to abort due to a really kick ass current.
