How many Shipwrecks are located in Palm Beach County Florida?
Better yet, how many Shipwrecks can you dive on in Palm Beach County Florida?
Here is a small list of some of the shipwrecks that I have found information on. I will be updating as I find more information and publish here, as an article, an Instagram and YouTube #Short, plus a full length video on YouTube.

Jupiter Wrecks
===============
MG-111 – barge wreck
The wreck of the MG-111 is a busted up barge sitting 65 feet of water just slightly north of the Jupiter inlet. While the wreck itself is not very visual it is a magnet for scores of fish life, and is an important aggregation site for the goliath groupers during the spawning season August and September.
Zion Train – (depth 90 fsw)
Zion Train is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in West Palm Beach, FL. This dive site has an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 from 4 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 81-90ft/25-27m. The average visibility is 61-70ft/19-21m.
Built in 1962, the 164-foot long Zion Train now rests in 90 feet of water approximately one mile north of the Jupiter Inlet.
This is part of the "Corridor" drift dive (Called Jupiter wreck trek by some shops) that takes you along a string of wrecks/artificial reefs.
WWII Hell Diver Plane Wreck (depth 168 fsw)
Of the numerous types of fighter planes used in WWII, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver is an incredibility rare aircraft. There is only one remaining in the world that is still in flying condition. Finding one of these largely intact underwater is, to say the least, highly unusual. The first such underwater find was not made until January of 2010, when a scuba shop owner in Maui discovered a Helldiver resting in 50ft (15m) of water in Maalaea Bay. Some 20 months later, a second aircraft was located just north of Palm Beach, Florida.
