M/V Castor Wreck

The M/V Castor Wreck, a 258-foot steel coastal cargo freighter, rests majestically on the ocean floor off Boynton Beach, Florida. Sunk intentionally in 2001, this shipwreck has become a celebrated dive site, attracting scuba enthusiasts from around the globe. Positioned upright at a depth of 110 feet, the wreck offers an accessible yet exhilarating experience for advanced divers. The site is particularly renowned for its seasonal visitors, the goliath groupers, which congregate here in large numbers during their late summer spawning season. These massive fish, some weighing up to 800 pounds, provide an awe-inspiring spectacle as they glide gracefully around the wreck. The M/V Castor is not only a haven for these gentle giants but also a thriving ecosystem for a variety of marine life, making it a vibrant underwater paradise for divers to explore.
