About this dive site
This dive site, known as Buddies' Break, is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Charter boat captains have created a substantial artificial reef over many years to provide habitat for diverse marine life. The bottom consists of nice limestone with numerous crags and crevices. A particularly notable feature is 25 'bagpipes,' which are cement structures filled with multiple pipes. These bagpipes offer an extremely rich environment for marine organisms. This site provides interesting diving opportunities, offering a chance to explore complex underwater formations and observe a variety of fish species.
