About This Spot
The Drop 2 Mooring Buoy marks a dramatic underwater terrain featuring a spur-and-groove reef system, large barrel sponges, and a mini wall formation at around 80 feet depth off the coast of Miami-Dade County. This deep reef area is popular for both advanced divers and experienced anglers targeting species like mutton snapper, amberjack, barracuda, and black grouper. The mooring buoy allows for safe tie-up, making it easy to position directly over productive structure. Visibility is often excellent, and the ledges provide plenty of habitat for gamefish and reef dwellers alike.
