Resting on a sandy bottom in 127 ft., the Rodeo stands upright to its highest point in 50 ft. of clear blue water. This 214 ft. Cargo Freighter is a spectacular site for the advanced diver and was made diver-safe in 1990 when it was sunk off shore to celebrate the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeo. Covered with soft corals and sponges, and surrounded by schooling fish, the graceful Eagle Ray has even been known to make an appearance. Spear fishermen frequent this spot for her abundant Jacks and Grouper. Build in 1956, this Dutch freighter 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.
