Patricia Wreck

The Patricia Wreck, a 65-foot steel harbor tugboat, offers an intriguing dive experience for scuba enthusiasts visiting Miami Beach. Sunk intentionally in 1985, this shipwreck is part of the renowned Miami Beach Wreck Trek, a series of artificial reefs designed to enhance marine biodiversity and provide exciting underwater exploration opportunities. Resting at a depth of 53 feet, the Patricia sits upright, making it an accessible dive for intermediate divers. The wreck is surrounded by a field of concrete reef balls, which further enrich the habitat for a variety of marine species. Divers can expect to encounter schools of colorful fish, barracudas, and occasionally, larger pelagic species. The site is a testament to the successful integration of artificial structures into the marine environment, offering both ecological benefits and recreational enjoyment.
