About Rube Allyn Reef
Rube Allyn Reef is an offshore artificial reef off Clearwater built from a barge, concrete material, culverts, and pyramid-like structures. Divers work hard artificial-reef relief rather than a coral wall, with reef fish, barracuda, snapper, grouper, and occasional sharks around the site. It is a boat dive with classic Gulf-reef character.
