Sea Dogs Dive Center dives this wreck on a regular basis too. It's a lot of fun and always has tons of fish on it. Under the stern section is always a good place to find grouper and snapper. The Semarca makes an excellent night dive.

The site is near Cracker Ridge, a few miles west of the Party Grounds natural reef. Several barge loads of culverts were placed near the center of this site in 1993 and 1997. In the early 80s, a few culverts were scattered to the North and NW of the Center culverts. Use your fathometer to find these old scattered culverts. The 1993 East culverts are few hundred yards east of the Center culverts. Semarca is a very popular bottom fishing and trolling location. The 76 ft steel ship, Semarca, is on the south end of the site. Site 2 Photo, Semarca
