US Army Tanks

The US Army Tanks artificial reef site off Miami Beach features two M-60 military battle tanks that were purposefully sunk in 1994 to create a unique underwater habitat. These tanks rest upright on a sandy bottom at a depth of 48 feet, making them accessible to both snorkelers and divers. Over the years, the tanks have become encrusted with vibrant marine growth and soft corals, attracting a diverse array of marine life. This site is particularly popular for its ease of access and the fascinating juxtaposition of military machinery with natural underwater beauty. The tanks provide an intriguing backdrop for underwater photography and a memorable experience for marine enthusiasts.
