About Proteus
Proteus is a Miami wreck dive on the Key Biscayne reef system, with enough relief to shelter a dense fish population and enough structure to make it a strong second-dive or photo-friendly trip. It is a boat-run wreck for divers who want a tidy artificial-reef profile rather than a deep technical day.
