Delta Shoals
There’s a lot to like about Delta Shoals. There are coral canyons, several wrecks, and numerous types of coral heads. All this in 25 feet of water near Sombrero Light and it’s one heck of a popular dive spot in Marathon. Delta Shoals are less than a mile from Sombrery Key, so combine dives if ou can.
There’s a wreck here called Ivory wreck, named after ivory tusks that sunk with the ship. Leg irons were also found at the Ivory, making hisotrians believe it had been a slave ship.
Delta Shoals run for half a mile over what used to be very treacherous waters, as there are many old remnants of wrecks out there.
