Best handled on a local charter because it is a deep offshore wreck with current-sensitive timing.
Rodeo 25 is a deep offshore wreck dive off Pompano Beach, where a twin-masted Dutch freighter lies upright in the sand with her structure rising toward the surface. Expect a current-aware charter day, soft corals, sponges, jacks, barracuda, and other big fish around a wreck that suits experienced boat divers. Plan for weather windows, clear briefings, and careful buoyancy throughout the dive.
