Please Remember
When diving, always display the "diver down" flag and use mooring buoys to prevent anchor damage to the wreck sites. Brochures and laminated underwater field guides are available from dive shops for many of the shipwrecks included in this travel itinerary.
All of the shipwreck sites mentioned in this travel itinerary are historic properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As with all historic and archeological sites on public uplands or submerged bottomlands, the shipwreck sites are protected by Federal and/or Florida laws that forbid disturbance, excavation or removal of artifacts without proper authorization. Living coral also are protected by law in Florida and must not be disturbed. Violators of Federal and/or Florida laws are subject to prosecution.
