The DEMA Trader is one of the most massive artificial reefs around Miami. Divers can explore an exciting wreck of the former cargo ship of 165 foot in length while scuba diving in the area. The ship was sunk in 2003 after being caught for carrying drugs, and nowadays it is a real attraction for divers. Some additional weight was added to the remains for the whole structure not to move during storms and be more save for explorers. Diving in DEMA Trader is very interesting as divers can examine even cabins and gallery. Several openings were made to enable the possibility of penetration dives.
