Deep Pompano wreck for certified divers.
RSB-1 is a deep Pompano Beach wreck dive on an oil tender that was deliberately sunk to form an artificial reef. Tall structure, large openings, and a fish-heavy superstructure make it a classic advanced boat dive for wreck-certified divers. Offshore current and weather can shape the plan, so good buoyancy control and a flexible charter matter. The wreck rewards calm planning and controlled penetration rather than casual sightseeing.
