About Hog Heaven
Hog Heaven is a Fort Lauderdale artificial-reef wreck built around an upside-down barge with pipes, beams, and reef debris nearby. It is a well-known boat dive with coral growth, good photo potential, and enough structure to keep both the wreck and reef sections interesting. Plan for current and boat traffic rather than a sheltered entry.
