It is a well-known fact that there are many avid divers throughout the Palm Beach area, while many of these divers elect to go on longer diving excursions. These excursions often require divers to stay on their vessel overnight. As such, many divers also prefer diving at nighttime due to the different creatures lurking below during the late hours.
At Schrader Mattress, we understand the number of divers throughout the area, both visiting and locals. We are also proud to provide handcrafted boat mattresses to these divers in order to enhance their overall diving experience. Some of our favorite and most popular Palm Beach dive sites include:
Gilbert Sea off the Palm Beach Inlet
Built in 1966 in the Netherlands, Gilbert Sea would be seized by the US Customs Department carrying 74 pounds of cocaine. It is now part of the Governors Riverwalk Reef, which is dedicated in honor of Governor Jeb Bush to commemorate his crime fighting efforts.
Located at an average depth of 75 feet at latitude 26.7529333333333 and longitude -80.0103666666667, located about 1.5 miles from the Palm Beach Inlet. This is a popular diving site for many throughout the area and beyond.
Rolls Royce off the Palm Beach Inlet
What would better explain the Palm Beaches without a 1985 Silver Cloud Rolls Royce diving site? This artificial reef is part of the Artificial Reef Program, and is a popular spot to dive as it offers many different types of fish and aquatic life. It is at an average depth of 80 feet at latitude 26.767 and longitude -80.0083333333333.
Zion Train off the Jupiter Inlet
Located nearly one mile north of the Jupiter Inlet in 90 feet of water rests the Zion Train. Originally, the Zion train was used to move cargo in Europe. It wasn’t until 1997 in the Miami River where the crew was shot and killed by “pirates”, eventually to be seized for non-payment of dockage fees. It was scuttled on June 2nd 2003. This wreak can be found at latitude 26.96305 and longitude -80.00735.
The Breakers Reef
The Breakers Reef is a popular diving location in the Palm Beaches, as it offers miles of ledges, crevices, undercuts, and reefs. Depths range from 42 to 60 feet, and is located offshore of the famous Breakers Hotel. Here, divers can run into hundreds of species of marine life and spend hours relaxing in the sun or sleeping under the stars, on a custom Schrader Boat Mattress of course, at this location.
