The site
The site, located inside Dr. Von D. Mitzell Johnson State Park, is also known as the Dania Erojacks. It begins 300 feet from shore. It stretches 1,500 feet until the first reef edge. Depths are shallow, seldom exceeding 20 feet.
The diving
Erojacks are large concrete structures that resemble toys you may have played with as a kid. They’ve proven to be an ideal artificial reef foundation, attracting coral and a wide assortment of fish and other aquatic life.
