Spearman'S Barge

Spearman's Barge is a shallow, sandy-bottom wreck site located off the coast near Riviera Beach. The wreck lies in relatively calm conditions typical of nearshore Florida sites, with visibility that varies seasonally. Entry is straightforward from a boat drop-off or a beach access point depending on tides. The barge rests on a sandy bottom and minor currents can occur, so divers should plan for a relaxed descent and a calm final ascent. Expect glimpses of local Gulf Coast marine life in the surrounding portrait of seagrass beds and open sandy areas, including small reef fish and sand-dwelling species. The site is suitable for beginner to intermediate divers, especially during calm seas, and offers a simple, accessible dive with a short underwater transit around the wreck.
