Eastern Dry Rocks
N 24° 27.500’
W 081° 50.440’ Marked at the west end by a steel beam, this Sanctuary Preservation Area (SPA) is located two miles due east of Sand Key and six miles south of Key West. The SPA is .1 square nautical miles and is a no-take zone.
On the Southwestern end of the Eastern Dry Rocks lays an old galleon, which is nearly impossible to distinguish. Divers will find stone ballast with brass fittings. This ship has and continues to produce artifacts. The enthusiastic and dedicated diver will be able to unveil some of these items. Large corals and lobsters are commonly seen in this area. Depths are 15fsw - 35fsw.
