About this site
The Donald G. McAllister lies off Broward County on Florida's southeast Atlantic coast, part of the artificial reef program built around decommissioned vessels sunk off Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach. It sits at a maximum depth of around 21.3 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible to divers early in their training. The site fits the broader pattern of this stretch of coast, where sunken ships have been placed deliberately to establish hard structure on an otherwise sandy seabed.
