Wreck of the Robert Edminster
http://www.scubafortlauderdale.com/
The Robert Edminster is a 95 foot Coast Guard cutter that was built in 1953 in Curtis Bay, Maryland. She was originally the Patrol Boat CG-954304, in 1964 she was named Cape Gull USCG. The cape class patrol boats were steel hull with aluminum superstructures. They were unnamed until 1964 when they acquired names of US capes of land. They were originally designed for anti-submarine warfare. The Cape Gull USCG was sold at auction to a Ft Lauderdale businessman who renamed her Robert Edminster after a friend and associate who had passed away. She was sunk on December 11, 1989. The Robert Edminster went down in 36 seconds after being set off with five eight-pound dynamite charges. She now forms part of the Broward County Artificial Reef Program, sitting upright in 70 feet of water 1000 feet due south of the Jay Scutti wreck. The wreck of the Robert Edminster has a 100-foot cable attached to the stern that leads to the wreck of the Wendy Rossheim.

If you’re looking to bring home more than just some sick scuba selfies or sweet GoPro videos, the Fort Lauderdale ledges are an ideal spot to score some dinner. Great for novice divers and/or snorkelers, the series of ledges located two to three miles north of the Port Everglades inlet are a great place to enjoy a casual, underwater expedition. With the hogfish and yellowtail populations, spearfishing is popular here and lobsters are also abundant. Depth ranges from an easy 15 to 20 feet and visibility is typically good, from 15 to 25 feet.
