Cayman Salvage Master


Cayman Salvage Master is a wreck dive in the Florida Keys located near Key Largo. Cayman Salvage Master was once a coast guard buoy tender. This wreck is 187 feet long with a beam of 37 feet. It is one of the better deep dive sites in Keys.

Diving on this wreck, visitors may see green moray eels, jacks, tune, barracuda, and other Key natives. The portholes and doorways are still in existence on the boat, which the fish tend to use to get around all sides of the wreck. Dive charters recommend that you do not swim inside the tender but explore the outside in order to avoid any type of dive accident.

Despite the address as Key Largo the wreck is actually in Key West close to 9ft State and Sand Key. The hull of the tender is full of cable and has some jagged metal. It is best to dive this site with good buoyancy control. Since it is a deeper dive one must have a deep or advanced certification. Open water divers can hire a guide to take them around the boat which is filled with coral and other wildlife.
