The site

Turtle Ledge lies roughly one-half mile off Pompano. As with most of the Gold Coast, the current generally runs from south to north but can reverse. Depth typically maxes out at 70 feet but can go deeper. Because of the currents, this is almost always done as a drift dive.

The diving

Turtle Ledge has the same rich assortment of soft and hard corals we associate with all Broward County diving. Reef fish are abundant, and it’s not unusual to find nurse sharks napping under ledges. The high point is when you come across one or more of the large loggerheads known to frequent this site. They may be out cruising along or taking a nap in the reef.
