Usually visited by boat in calm Upper Keys weather, Alicia works well for novice divers and snorkel-capable surface conditions because the wreckage lies shallow and spread out.
About Alicia
Alicia is a shallow Key Largo wreck-and-reef site built around the broken remains of a historic steel ship scattered across easy recreational depth. The layout favors relaxed exploration of debris, low-profile structure, and marine life collecting around the wreckage rather than a single intact ship silhouette.
