About Jim Atria
Jim Atria is a deep boat wreck off Fort Lauderdale, resting upright as a former Dutch freighter that now serves as an artificial reef. The masts still stand, the hull is heavily encrusted, and the site offers the kind of structure experienced divers look for: a serious wreck profile, changing current, and marine life around the hull rather than an easy reef drift.
