Dive Deep with Stuart Scuba

Looking for the ultimate South Florida technical dive adventure? Welcome to The Playground—a deep artificial reef off the coast of West Palm Beach, accessible via our Stuart Scuba tech dive charters.

Originally deployed between 1986 and 1993 using over 1,500 tons of massive concrete culverts, The Playground sits at 140 feet and is teeming with marine life. It’s the perfect dive site for experienced technical divers and those advancing through training programs like:

• TDI Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures

• SSI Extended Range (XR)

• PADI Tec 45

• NAUI Technical Diver

• GUE Technical (Normoxic/Helitrox)

This underwater concrete jungle is not a wreck, but don’t be fooled—its labyrinth of culverts creates incredible swim-throughs, overhangs, and structures ideal for gas planning, skill development, and decompression execution. Divers often encounter Goliath Grouper, Amberjack, and schools of snapper and barracuda among the rubble.
