Edmister Wreck & Reef

A Coast Guard Cutter Wreck & Reef Dive.

The Edmister is a 95′ Coast Guard Cutter. Hurricane Andrew was not kind the cutter leaving it flattened in some sections. The wreckage still attracts lots of fish and is covered in growth. The Jay Scutti wreck lies about 1,000′ to the north. Originally commissioned the Cutter Cape Gull in 1953 at the Coast Guard yard in Curtis Bay. The vessel was sold at auction to a Ft. Lauderdale businessman who renamed her Robert Edmister after a friend and associate who had passed away. The newly named Robert Edmister was sunk on December 11, 1989. The wreck’s aluminum superstructure has suffered over the years, with significant damage resulting from Hurricane Andrew in 1992. While portions of the wreck have collapsed, the Edmister still offers a pleasant excursion for novice divers.
