About YDT-15 (Navy Dive Tender Wreck)
YDT-15 is a boat-access Pensacola wreck dive and artificial reef off the Gulf coast, sitting offshore from the pass with a broken-up superstructure and a debris field that still holds plenty of fish life. The wreck is deep enough to feel like a proper offshore charter day, but the decking and bridge were removed to make it safer for recreational divers.
