Overview

The Thunderbolt Wreck is a popular dive site located in the Florida Keys, specifically in the Middle Keys. This artificial reef was created by sinking the USS Thunderbolt, a former Navy ship, to promote marine life and enhance diving experiences.

Divers can explore the wreck, which lies upright on the seabed, providing opportunities to see various marine species that inhabit the wreck and surrounding reef. The site features interesting structures and is accessible to divers of varying skill levels.
