DIVE THE SSUS WITH EMERALD COAST SCUBA

The SS United States represents an incredible piece of American maritime history and an exciting new chapter for the diving community. Once the fastest ocean liner in the world, this historic 990-foot vessel is being given a second life as an artificial reef off the coast of Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Its transformation will create an extraordinary underwater destination for recreational divers, technical divers, underwater photographers, and marine enthusiasts while providing valuable habitat for marine life. Beyond its environmental benefits, the project has the potential to attract divers from around the world, support local dive shops and charter operators, and strengthen the Gulf Coast's reputation as a premier wreck-diving destination. The SS United States is more than just another shipwreck; it is an opportunity to preserve a piece of history, support marine ecosystems, and create a lasting legacy for future generations of divers.
