About this site
Alexander, also called the Alexander Barge, is a wreck dive in the Florida Keys. The barge was sunk in 1984 as the first artificial reef in the Florida Keys program, and it sits at 100 feet (30.5 m), surrounded by bridge rubble.
Depths on the site run from 80 to 105 feet (24 to 32 m). Goliath grouper, turtles, sharks and reef fish gather around the wreck in good numbers.
