Project T1.1 visited all wrecks in Miami-Dade county lying between 120 and 170FT depth, excluding those wrecks in the extreme southern section of the county.  The project began on March 2, 2003, with a dive on the Deep Freeze by Joel Svendsen and Robert Bognar.  The project was completed on July 4, 2007, with a dive on the Narwal by Joel Svendsen, Matthew Hoelscher, and Ralph Figueroa.

Narwal 115FT

The bow and stern of the Narwal are reasonably intact, but her midsection is a tangle of twisted metal.  An interesting site, despite generally poor visibility at this location. 

Ultra Freeze 120FT

The Ultra Freeze is a large and impressive wreck.  She is bent and partially broken amidships.  There is extensive penetration possible, but fallen electrical cables and general deterioration make penetration of this ship particularly hazardous.  This site suffers from chronically bad visibility. 
 

Captain Harry 120FT

Incorrectly listed by the county as a 90 FT steel ship, this is actually a Barge. A great deal of marine life is present, but the barge itself is unremarkable

Merci Rabi 120FT

This is a barge sunk along with a huge load of concrete culverts which are spread over a wide area.  The county mistakenly called this site the "Merci Rabi."  The Merci Rabi is a vessel sitting in 165FT of water and is officially (but incorrectly) called the Nick Comoglio. 

Bunnell Barge 130FT

Rather similar to the Captain Harry, this is an unremarkable barge lying upside down in about 130ft.

Deep Freeze 135ft

Upright with the superstructure removed prior to sinking.  The stern section has broken away and is twisted about 30 degrees to starboard.

Lakeland 135ft

Almost completely upside down, with a very large debris field around the wreck. Penetration potential is extensive but hazardous. Much of the inside of the Lakeland has been surveyed.  The debris field around the Lakeland is vast; even with DPV's it is a challenge to see it all on one dive, and contains a great deal of interesting marine life. 
 

Pimellous 135ft

Upright and intact, this vessel has almost no freeboard or superstructure. The wooden decking is long gone, leaving steel support beams behind. A large and interesting crane is in the sand behind the wreck.

Customs Reef  - 120ft / 131ft / 138ft / 145ft

Four large, impressive looking vessels, all upright and intact. Two of the four are easily seen from one another, the other two are a considerable swim away.

Jack Falafian 150FT

An 80ft steel tugboat located in 150FT. Upright and intact; very impressive bow to stern penetration possible.  This is a small but pretty wreck. 

Watson Island Barge 150ft

A big, completely intact box; no penetration possible at this time.

Nick Comoglio 150ft

Originally called the "Skeeter", the county later officially (but incorrectly) named her the "Nick Comoglio."  This wreck is actually the vessel "Merci Rabi".  Upright and intact. A small wreck but with a great deal of growth and some interesting penetration.  (Note that while the official depth is listed as 150ft, the actual depth is nearly 170ft) 

Jupiter Star 155ft

Intact, lying on her port side with some damage to the superstructure and rudder, most probably from her sinking. Major penetration (cave diving rules apply here) down the funnel all the way into the engine room. This is a very large and impressive looking wreck.

Hopper Barge 160ft

Impressive looking hopper barge, upright and intact except the stern (or is it the bow?) bulkhead is missing from the north end of the wreck.

Railroad Barge 165ft

An intact box with some limited access for penetration, although the inside looks tight.

Gimrock Barges 165ft

Impressive looking barge full of wreckage of a second barge

Water Tower 170ft

Retired Miami Beach water tower lying on the bottom next to an impressive looking barge. Considerable debris inside the barge, mostly consisting of the support structure for the water tower when it was on land.
