🌊 Dive Into History: Explore the USCGC Duane! 🌊

Ready for an unforgettable adventure? The USCGC Duane, a 327-foot Treasury Class cutter built in 1936, now rests as a stunning artificial reef off Molasses Reef. This historic ship served in WWII, carried out daring rescues, and even escorted Cuban refugees before being decommissioned in 1985. Today, it’s an underwater museum and a National Register of Historic Places site!

🏴‍☠️ What to Expect Underwater:
🌟 The Duane sits upright, with its mast and crow's nest starting at 60 feet and the main deck at 100 feet.
🌟 Swim-throughs reveal hidden treasures like Goliath Groupers and Green Moray Eels.
🌟 Look out for bull sharks (3–8 circling on most dives), sea turtles, barracudas, amberjacks, and vibrant corals.
🌟 Some current makes it a thrilling dive—but the incredible marine life and breathtaking views make it all worth it!

This dive is the perfect mix of history, adventure, and marine life. Are your fins ready for the challenge? 🌊💪
