 The Rich Novak
Memorial reef site consists of bridge rubble from the Peace
River North bound I-75 Bridge that was replaced in 2003. The
bulk of this reef is made up of 65 foot long I-beam girders
that weigh about 50 tons apiece. They were randomly dumped in
a criss-cross pattern which achieved a 12 foot reveal. There
is also plenty of piling, platforms and decking slabs to make
for a wonderful fish haven. This reef site is massive in size
and holds many species of fish, both large and small. This
site is generally dove as a drift dive, due to the difficulty
of navigation. You can wander around the site for the whole
dive and the boat will pick you up where ever you surface. |
