The Vandenburg is an artificial reef sunk in May of 2009. We chartered a boat from Key West and it was about a 45 minute ride. It was fascinating to see all the life that uses the Vandenburg already. There are no visible corals yet but a great deal of life is already attaching and using the shelter of the ship. There was a tremendous number of bait fish and barracuda. I plan to return to the Vandenburg every few years to see how life progresses. Fascinating! We did a double dip with the first dive to about 95 feet and the second stayed at about 60 feet. Great technical dive, because deck is about 100 feet and bottom is about 160+. Impressive and fun if you like diving wrecks!
