Avocet Dredge (Wreck)

★★★★☆ (130)

The 250’/75m long dredge Avocet was sunk as an artificial reef in 1991 approximately 21 miles SSE of Pensacola Pass. The upper structure of the wreck has been torn off and scattered by hurricanes.

Depths range to 27-39m. The Avocet’s close proximity to the Edge often brings in large pelagic fish species, such as wahoo, dolphin, and tuna.
