Joe's Tug
About This Site
Joe's Tug is a popular small wreck dive located just a few miles off Key West. Despite its name, the wreck is actually a 75-foot steel-hulled shrimp boat that sank in 1986. Over the decades, it has transformed into a vibrant artificial reef completely encrusted with colorful sponges and soft corals, making it one of the most photogenic wreck dives in the Keys.
