M/V Castor (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(254)
The M/V Castor is a 258-foot Dutch freighter intentionally sunk off Boynton Beach, Florida, on December 14, 2001, to create an artificial reef. Today, it is a popular advanced wreck-diving destination, particularly for its large seasonal gatherings of Atlantic goliath grouper.
The wreck rests in approximately 110 feet of water and features a partially collapsed structure covered in colorful marine growth.
