Galt Ocean Mile


The I Sea Sea crew frequently visits the reef behind Galt Ocean Mile.  This area has beautiful coral formations and a few areas of unknown debris fields.  We can only guess where the debris came from.  Take a look. Contact us at www.iseesea.org  if you would like to visit the reef.  Don't forget to click the subscribe button on the right and also subscribe to our Youtube channel so you don't miss out on great new videos.

School of Sergeant Major Fish

 Common names are sergeant major, damsel fish, five finger, and pilotfish.  This fish gets its name "sergeant major" from the stripes that resemble the traditional insignia of the military rank.  The I See Sea crew often sees these fish in shallow reefs.  Take a look at the video.  Contact us at www.iseesea.org  if you would like to visit the reef.  Don't forget to click the subscribe button on the right and also subscribe to our Youtube channel so you don't miss out on great new videos.

Copenhagen Ship Wreck

 19th-century steel-hulled schooner-rigged screw steamship, the SS Copenhagen was constructed in Sunderland, England. It was registered in Glasgow, Scotland, to the Glasgow Shipowners Company, Ltd., which used the vessel to transport cargo across the Atlantic. Launched in 1898, the Copenhagen met a watery grave only two years later during a voyage between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Havana, Cuba. The Copenhagen was transporting some 4,940 tons of coal when, without warning, it ran aground and became stranded on a reef. The crew began to unload cargo and efforts were made to free the ship from the reef but, ultimately, the vessel was abandoned.

I see see crew visited this wreck in the summer of 2015.  Take a look. Contact us at www.iseesea.org  fi you would like to take a trip there and don't forget to click the subscribe button on the right.

All in a day of snorkeling



When you have a sunny day and clear water it's normal for the I See Sea crew to be out in the water for 6-8 hours straight.  This weekend was 16 hours in the same location over two days.  Take a look.  Contact us at www.iseesea.org and don't forget to click the subscribe button on the right.

The Mystery of the Boat Engines

Seeing a boat engine in the middle of the reef is not an uncommon sight.  There are more of them than you would think.  I am sure there is a story that goes along with each one of them.  One may have come from a boater that got stuck in a hurricane.  Another may have come from giant attack lobsters from the deep....just kidding.  Or maybe a lone fisherman tries to start the engine after a long day of fishing and .... "Oops.. there goes my engine."  At least those are my theories.  There are 6 or 7 known boat engines we have found over the past few years in south Florida.  Maybe you can help us discover more of them and come up with new theories.  Contact us at iseesea.org if you would like to join in on the fun.  Don't forget to click the subscribe button on the right.

Welcome to the Reef

Our purpose for I See Sea is to create a free library of local marine life and provide mapping of the south Florida coral reefs.  We enjoy diving and snorkeling in the area and our goal is to introduce as many as possible to the underwater world that we love so much.

We visit the reef on a weekly basis and if you want to go to the reef with us visit our website at iseesea.org.
