About this site
Joe's Tug is a small tugboat wreck off Key West in the Florida Keys, on a wreck bottom reaching a maximum depth of around 65 metres, though most recreational visits stay well shallower on the upper structure. It is rated a beginner dive and remains a regular stop for Key West charter operators. Over the years the hull has taken on the encrusting growth typical of Keys artificial reefs. Exact details of its sinking and dimensions are not well established, but it continues to be a familiar, easily reached local dive site.
