Cable Crossing Reef in West Palm Beach

About Cable Crossing

Cable Crossing is a shallow reef site off Palm Beach County, named for an underwater communications cable crossing the area. The Palm Beaches tourism guide lists an approximate depth of 25 feet and describes it as a beginner-friendly dive. It is a useful shallow-water option when the operator confirms the site and conditions are appropriate.

Depth, access and planning

• Site type: natural coral reef associated with an underwater communications cable.
• Reported depth: about 25 feet in the local tourism guide. Depth varies across the reef; this is not a guarantee for every part of the site.
• Access: confirm the planned boat drop and access with Stuart Scuba. This page does not establish a shore entry point.
• Experience: local tourism information describes the site as suitable for novice divers. Divers should still follow their certification limits, operator briefing and current conditions.
• Location note: the source gives conflicting distance descriptions for Cable Crossing. The map below is a broad best-guess area marker only; it is not an exact reef coordinate or navigation point.
