Steve's Twin Ledges: boat-led Pompano reef drift.
Steve's Twin Ledges: boat-led Pompano reef drift.
Steve's Twin Ledges is a twin-ledge reef just south of Pompano Beach Pier, laid out as two north-south rock lines that are easy to follow once you settle onto the reef edge. The site works best as a boat-accessed drift or hot-drop dive, with simple navigation, ledge breaks for marine life, and a profile that rewards calm conditions and tidy pickup planning.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 15m
Depth Note
The western ledge starts around 33 ft and the deeper side runs to about 40-45 ft, so 15 m is a conservative maximum.
Best Season
Late spring to early fall
Typical Conditions
Moderate-relief ledges, regular drift-style movement, and visibility that varies with weather; best on calm windows.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Mind the gaps between ledges, keep spacing on drift days, and watch boat pickup around the reef line.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the practical default; plan on a local operator or charter and a drift or hot-drop setup.
Legal Notes
Follow Florida lobster-season rules and any local boating or charter instructions.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Open Water-level reef diving with easy ledge-following and enough structure to keep the run interesting on calm days.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the boat-based ledges and drift profile make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here because the most useful structure sits below the surface and the access pattern is boat-based.
