About 12 Foot Ledge
12 Foot Ledge is a Gulf Coast artificial reef ledge with a long, simple wall-style profile that makes it easy to follow. The site is a practical ledge dive rather than a complicated route, with coral and reef life along the ridge and barracuda, grouper, and snapper among the species reported there. Plan it as a boat-led nearshore trip where the main variables are water clarity and the day's Gulf conditions. The simple profile makes it a practical ledge dive when you want structure without a complex route.
