Boca Artificial
 
Depth: 43'-70' Experience: Open Water

Just south of Boca Inlet, approximately 3& 1/2 of a mile offshore. This is a popular artificial reef area adjacent to natural rock ledges. The reef is a section of the third reef tier. Boca Artificial is 43' on the top sloping East to depths of 70' to the sand. The top edge is jagged and overgrown with soft corals, sponges and other invertebrates. On the inside of the undercut ledge, the reef is 10+ foot high. The top edge is jagged and heavily overgrown with soft corals, sponges, algae, and other invertebrates. There is a small artificial reef composed of 20 Erojacks that were originally stacked 6 ft. high in a sandy depression. Five Erojacks were knocked off of the pile by Hurricane David and thrown into the sand hole about 5 ft. away. More were knocked off by later storms.
