In February 2002, Palm Beach County’s Artificial Reef Program expanded with the intentional sinking of the Shasha Boekanier. Known as the Shasha to local divers, this 184-foot coastal freighter was the first of three former drug smuggling vessels seized and sunk off Palm Beach County. Following the Shasha was the St. Jacques (180-foot) and the Gilbert Sea (170-foot).
Almost as a gift to divers, Palm Beach County added the Thozina to Governor’s Riverwalk Reef in December 2002. This 174-foot coastal freighter was donated to Palm Beach County’s Artificial Reef Program, and now lies with the others in 90-feet of water. The wrecks are quickly becoming a haven for game and tropical fish as they rapidly become overgrown with coral and algae.
As a dive site, Governor’s Riverwalk Reef is an excellent training site for advanced recreational and introductory technical training.
The Corridor wrecks which include the Anna Cecilia, Mizpah, Amaryllis, and more. The M/V Ana Cecilia was scuttled 1.25 miles off the coast of Singer Island at Latitude 26 ° 47.125 N and Longitude 80 ° 00.96 W in 85 feet just south of the M/V Mizpah, making it the starting point in a line of 11 existing artificial reefs to provide a unique diving experience.
