Ten-Fathom Bar
Ten Fathom Bar is a wall dive from 25 to 130 feet, and considered an intermediate dive. Located half a mile south of Sand Key, the Ten Fathom Bar is home to many species who find refuge in the crevices of the ledge and dropoff. Often called just “the bar”, the Ten Fathom Bar stretches for for miles, parallel to the main reef line.
It’s sandy with rocks, leading up to the ledge, and there are usually lots of Yellowtail Snapper in the area. There’s often a pretty strong current, since it’s outside the main reef area. No mooring buoys here.
