About South Double Ledges
South Double Ledges is a boat-access drift reef built around two parallel ledges running north-south. The route has a two-tier profile with reef structure, sandy gaps, and a bowl-like end that keeps the dive moving instead of staying on one flat line. It suits experienced Palm Beach divers who are comfortable with current and buoyancy around ledges. Turtles, moray eels, grunts, and other reef life make it a dependable big-reef dive.
