PC-1174 Patrol Craft Wreck

The PC-1174 Patrol Craft Wreck is a captivating dive site located off the coast of West Palm Beach. This 165-foot steel Navy patrol craft, which was intentionally sunk in 1968, now rests upright in 82 feet of water. It forms part of the renowned Wreck Trek, nestled between the Mizpah and the Amaryllis wrecks. Over the decades, the PC-1174 has become a vibrant underwater ecosystem, heavily encrusted with soft corals and sponges, providing a haven for a diverse array of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter schools of fish darting through the ship's structure, along with the occasional sighting of larger pelagic species. The wreck's relatively shallow depth and clear waters make it accessible to intermediate divers, offering an unforgettable glimpse into both history and marine biodiversity.
