The Duane was intentionally sunk as an artificial reef on November 27, 1987. She came to rest upright on the sandy bottom in approximately 130' of water, about a mile south of Molasses Reef. Her main deck features a maximum depth of ~107', with easy "swim-through" access for divers with appropriate training and experience. Since her sinking, The Duane has become an impressive artificial reef. Her upright position makes for an excellent multi-level deep wreck dive. For experienced divers visiting Key Largo, the Duane is a definite must!
