Just a half mile south of the Pompano Pier, the Pompano Beach Drop Off is a hot spot for beach divers. The reef varies from 6 to 22-feet deep and runs parallel to the shore, just 350 yards from the beach. Plus, there is usually very little to no current, making for an easy drift along the reef's ridge. 

The Pompano Beach Drop Off is blanketed in marine species. Flat rock masses, some 100 feet wide, have become home to dozens of native Floridian wildlife. Some of the rocks have crumbled over the years, creating holes and caves that have become hiding spots for lobsters, crabs, and small fish. An array of corals, sea whips, and sponges rest feet below the water's surface.
