Pensacola has been chosen as the final resting place for the USS Oriskany, the largest artificial reef in the world. This is the only aircraft carrier accessible for the majority of SCUBA divers and the largest artificial reef ever created.
We invite you to join us for a once in a lifetime diving adventure, seeing history as you’ve never seen it before. At 911' long, 150' tall and 146' wide you will be awed by this majestic aircraft carrier. Sunk in 212' of water only 22 miles from shore, it attracts all species of marine life from the smallest reef fish to the largest pelagic fish in the ocean. Take the quickest ride out to the site with Captain Dave Mucci on the "Y-Knot?", a speedy and comfortable 29' Pro Sports Kat with new twin Yamaha 225 HP 4-stroke engines. Dive the majestic USS Oriskany for the most unforgettable diving experience of your life!
