Guy Harvey or M/V Lady Kimberly

Fort Lauderdale Dive Sites

This wreck was named in honor of the Jamaican marine life artist Guy Harvey. When she last sailed this ship was known as the M/V Lady Kimberly.

Fort Lauderdale – Wreck Diving

The wreck is located approximately 4 miles south of the Hillsboro Inlet in 145 foot of water where she now rests upright on the seabed.

She was built in Holland in 1957 and in the latter part of her working life this 185 foot freighter travelled between Haiti and the Lesser Antilles under her last known name Lady Kimberly. Before her sinking as part of the artificial reef program in May 1997 Guy Harvey painted sharks on the side of the ship.

Now sitting on the bottom with her decks approximately 45 feet from the sea floor this relatively new wreck is already being covered by corals and sponges. As the video below shows you the wreck is already covered with growth and there are hundreds of small fish schooling around this wreck and it won’t take long for the larger fish to target this site and make it their own.

This wreck is already well known for hogfish, barracuda, angelfish and lobsters and it will not take it long to fully develop as yet another artificial reef.

Fort Lauderdale Scuba Videos

One of the attractions of Fort Lauderdale scuba diving is that you will be able to take underwater photographs or underwater videos such as the one below.The waters are warm and clear so you will be able to get some good shots.

This video was taken at the Guy Harvey wreck and gives you an idea of what to expect when scuba diving deep wrecks in Fort Lauderdale. (Press the button second right on the bottom of the video player to see it in full screen)…

Terence’s Log

One of Fort Lauderdale’s many shipwrecks this wreck is another deep technical dive. Great visibility and easy currents make this an enjoyable dive but at with the deck being reached 100 feet from the surface this is a technical dive and a great site to learn those technical skills.

The are plenty of fish including the ever present barracuda so there is plenty to see do and explore.
