This is probably one of the best all around sites on the Gold
Coast. The "Nursery" offers something for all ages and skill
levels. The "Nursery" is named after the family of resident
Nurse Sharks that inhabit this reef. Our trained feeders interact
with the sharks as divers, snorkelers and glassbottom passengers
watch in amazement. These docile sharks are the ambassadors
to the shark species. They will change your whole perspective
about sharks and the ocean realm.

NBC, CNN and National Geographic.

Copenhagen was a 325 ft. coal freighter that ran aground off
the shores of Pompano Beach on May 26, 1900. She was carrying
4,940 tons of coal on voyage from Philadelphia to Havana. Although
the ship was unsalvageable, her cargo was saved. The Copenhagen
remained partially visible above the water until WWII naval
fighter pilots used her for target practice sending her to the
bottom where she sits today. The Copenhagen was declared a State
Underwater Archaeological Preserve in 1994.
