Atlantic City Artificial Reef
Depth: 55-95 ft
The empty areas in the north and center of this reef contain a number of Army tanks (not shown.) Brightliners and Redbirds were also sunk in this reef, but are not shown as they are assumed to be gone after 20 years.
The Atlantic City Reef is one of the oldest artificial reef sites in New Jersey. Reef-building activities at this site date back to 1935.
