Benwood is a wreck located near the French Reef area. the former steam cargo ship was launched in 1909 and came to its demise in 1942 after colliding with another ship. The wreck now lies in approximately 7 meters/25 feet to 14 meters/45 feet of water.

Today, the ship is a popular dive site for divers of all levels. It is often done as a night dive.

The remains of the Benwood ship are scattered over a wide area. The bow and the hull are mostly intact.

The site is teeming with marine life: reef sharks, manta rays, spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, Goliath groupers, tarpons, spadefish, moray eels, goatfish, snappers, and others.

The average visibility is 25 meters/80 feet and moderate current is often present.

With Sail Fish Scuba in Key Largo, we were pleasantly surprised to discover such pleasant diving conditions on this morning. Very manageable 3 feet+ seas at the surface, only a moderate current, 35 to 45 foot visibility, and the water temperature at 74 F felt super warm compared to the 58 F air temp.

She was built as a merchant marine freighter and was 360 feet long. She sank after running into the USS Tuttle in April 1942 during WWII. She was salvaged and later used as target practice by the Army Air Corp, which became the US Air Force. She was dynamited after she became a navigation hazard. The wreck is highly popular and remains one of the most frequently visited sites in the National Marine Sanctuary. Look for large schools of grunts, snapper and goatfish."
