Rapa Nui Reef

The Rapa Nui Reef, located off the coast of Deerfield Beach, is a captivating artificial reef and shipwreck site that offers an extraordinary scuba diving experience. This 150-foot barge, deliberately sunk in 2015, serves as the foundation for an underwater art exhibition that is both intriguing and ecologically beneficial. The deck of the barge is adorned with 15 massive concrete Moai statues, reminiscent of the iconic figures found on Easter Island. These statues not only provide a unique visual spectacle but also contribute to the creation of a thriving marine habitat. Divers can explore the intricate details of the statues while observing the diverse marine life that has made this site its home. The Rapa Nui Reef is situated in 70 feet of water, making it accessible to recreational scuba divers seeking an unforgettable underwater adventure.
