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.
