Site description
Continuing from the outer reef, Pompano 3rd is a beautiful broken reef featuring cliffs that offer excellent shelter for marine life. You’ll find common sights like coral, basket sponges, whips, and fans. The outer ledge harbors good lobster crevices when the bugs are deep, and occasionally, large groupers appear along the edges.
Route & typical conditions
Route
For the best dive experience, explore the eastern ledge (which faces west) near the collapse feature at the top. Depending on the current, you can start either at the north hook or the collapse opening at the south end. When the current conditions are favorable, begin your dive at Quallman Tugs et al., heading west toward the reef and then north with the current. It’s like getting a two-for-one underwater adventure!
Typical conditions
Conditions in this reef are good - and that means that some currents exists at depth to divers can really relax and be pushed buy the current.
Visibility ranges 40 to 50 feet.
