Now marked by a 136-foot tall lighthouse, on this spot in 1822 the USS Alligator grounded and
sank while protecting a convoy from pirates. Now all that remains of the wreck are the twin piles
of ballast stones, but the coral reef in just 25 feet of water is vibrant and alive. As with most dive
sites in the area, the depth will vary depending on where on the reef we tie up. You can count on
tons of marine life which are very tame due to its marine sanctuary status..
