About this site
The Oar Bbswc Barge is an artificial reef site in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida's Big Bend coast, sitting well offshore in open Gulf waters. It is a barge deployed as part of an artificial reef program, resting on the seabed at a maximum depth of around 27 metres. Divers have reported loggerhead sea turtles around the wreck, though sightings there can vary. Given the distance from shore at these coordinates, the site is typically reached by a boat run well out into the Gulf.
