Red Rod - 1.2K The Rodeo 25

Rodeo 25
This picture used with permission from Undersea Operations, Inc. dba the Seahorse dive boat.

This Dutch freighter was built in 1956. She is 215 feet long and has a 33 foot beam.

On May 12, 1990, this wreck was renamed the Rodeo 25 in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Pompano Fishing Rodeo. She was sunk while almost 100,000 spectators watched.

Today, this twin masted freighter sits upright in 130 feet of water. The main deck is at 100 feet of water and the masts rise to within 52 feet of the surface.

Because the Rodeo 25 lies at the limit of recreational diving, she makes a good practice dive for technical divers. She is deep enough to practice the ins and outs of the ups and downs and still get decent bottom time as a no decompression dive. Dive this wreck on EANx32 for even more bottom time.
