Danny McCauley

 | By Seamus on 1/14/2018 1:33:05 AM | Views (389) The Danny McCauley Memorial Reef has been deployed in less than 80 feet of water just north of the Lake Worth inlet with the intention of adding to a series of wrecks/reefs easily accessible to all divers on the drift dives the area is famous for. This 110 foot World War II vintage tugboat, formerly called the Pocahontas, was deployed perfectly upright with the bow facing south. Being a relatively small vessel at a moderate depth with plenty of open areas to explore, this promises to be an excellent dive for openwater divers.The tugboat sits in 74 feet of seawater with the deck in the 50 foot range. She was visible on the bottom after we descended approximately 20 feet. Currents in this area tend to be strong but staying close to the wreck shields you and you can easily move about. The engines and operating equipment have all been removed and large holes have been cut in the deck and cabin, making it very open and easily accessible. There are several smaller rooms to peak in and the ladders and stairways remind you it was once a working boat. Be careful of the jagged edges on the steel where torches were used and stay clear of several ropes and lines left over from deployment.
