About this site
Joe's Tug lies off Key West in the Florida Keys, in the reef tract south of the United States mainland, and takes its name from the tugboat wreck that now rests on the bottom there. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is generally considered an intermediate dive. Divers have reported barracuda, grouper, and snapper around the wreck.
