The Rebel

Five mile from Port Everglades Cut, just outside the third reef line, approximately a mile and a half from shore. During the summer of 1985, a 150-foot Norwegian freighter, built in 1947, was placed in the sea floor to become another spectacular artificial reef site. Her original name Andrea was changed to the Rebel. She sits upright and perfectly intact. The main deck of the ship is at approximately 85 feet. This open wreck is easily penetrated. This wreck is covered with algae and is frequented by jacks, barracuda, and large grouper. There was once a large mast which has since broken and fallen, and two large booms are splayed across the cargo holds. The prop remains intact and the hull is full of fish and spiny oysters.
