Circle of Heroes at Veteran’s Reef
★★★★☆
(629)
This area is the first-ever underwater veteran memorial and consists of a dozen concrete U.S. service members standing in a circle formation 40 feet below. The Circle of Heroes underwater veteran memorial sits at this site and is a very unique dive.
You’ll see the typical Gulf of Mexico Caribbean fish species like stingrays, snapper, triggerfish, hogfish, and possible sandbar, blacknose, and bonnethead sharks.
