Blue Heron Bridge Overview:
The Blue Heron Bridge is the premier beach dive site in the country! And the best part about it, it’s in our backyard! It’s so popular that there’s even a Blue Heron Bridge Dive Club Facebook Page that we recommend all divers to join.
The Blue Heron Bridge is a FREE beach dive and is accessible from Phil Foster Park in Riviera Beach, Florida.
EVEN THE PARKING IS FREE AT THE BLUE HERON BRIDGE!
Diving the Blue Heron Bridge is permitted 7 days a week, sunrise to sunset.
With the Blue Heron Bridge being a tide-dependent dive, enter the water no earlier than one hour before high tide, and be out no later than one hour after high tide. Doing a dive which is a half hour before and after high tide is recommended for people not familiar with diving here.
Blue Heron Bridge Tube-Dwelling Anemone The bridge is home to countless creatures, small and large, so take your time, don’t rush! Be on the constant lookout, especially for those smaller creatures which may be hiding. On busy days, well over 100 divers will scuba and snorkel the Blue Heron Bridge. Be observant of your surroundings so you don’t get tangled up with someone else’s flag or the bridge itself.
When navigating around the Blue Heron Bridge, remember not to scuba dive in the swim area. Scuba in this area is not permitted. But don’t worry, the lifeguards are cool with divers surface swimming.
Like most dive sites in South Florida, a dive flag is a must at the Blue Heron Bridge. You run the risk of getting a ticket if you enter the water without a flag. TRUE STORY.
Diving The Blue Heron Bridge:
There are 3 primary dive areas of the Blue Heron Bridge:
• The Blue Heron Bridge East Span
• The Blue Heron Bridge Snorkel Trail (South of the bridge)
• The Blue Heron Bridge West Span
Blue Heron Bridge East Span:
The East Span of the Blue Heron Bridge is a little over 20ft deep. There is minimal light here, so many divers bring a light with them. Under the bridge you will find pilings and small sunken boats that many creatures at the Blue Heron Bridge call home.
For the geographically challenged, the East Span of the Blue Heron Bridge is on your left as you’re walking to the water.
Blue Heron Bridge Snorkel Trail:
The area straight out from the beach sits in 6-10 feet of water and is the shallowest area of the Blue Heron Bridge. 600 tons of limestone boulders and prefabricated reef modules were used to build the 800-foot-long Snorkel Trail. The various shaped piles are separated with a trail of smaller boulders. After the Blue Heron Bridge Snorkel Trail was completed in August 2012, sea life quickly made these newly placed reefs their home.
To dive the Blue Heron Bridge Snorkel Trail, enter the water from the beach and swim south (straight out). Once you reach a reef module, continue on by exploring east and west Be careful not to enter the boat channel near the West Span when you’re diving the western portion of the Blue Heron Bridge Snorkel Trail.
Blue Heron Bridge West Span:
The first rule of Fight Club the West Span is to NEVER enter the boat channel! To dive the West Span of the Blue Heron Bridge, enter the water on the right side of the beach. This side of the bridge is where many divers see seahorses! If you stay close to the bridge footings, you will see where the boat channel begins. Fortunately for us divers, it’s pretty easy to recognize, as the last set of bridge footings looks like a wall. Once you reach the wall, do not explore any further west. The other side of the wall is the boat channel.
Blue Heron Bridge Seahorse near the Beach With the West Span of the Blue Heron Bridge having many smaller organisms, take your time. You can explore the pilings by zig-zagging back and forth. Make sure to scope out the growth below and between the pilings as well as the bottles/cans/trash that cover the West Span. From our experience, there are always fire worms and scorpion fish here, so watch where you put your hands (Wear gloves!). Both will cause a ton of pain! The max depth here is about 20ft.

Riviera Reef Beach Dive:
Riviera Reef in Riviera Beach / Singer Island, Florida is an artificial reef constructed of giant limestone boulders. This reef is a short walk from the Riviera City Beach. There are a total of 50 pods in two locations that make up the Riviera Reef. This mitigation reef took a little over two years to construct and was completed in the summer of 2011. Since it's completion, some of the western pods of the Riviera Reef have been covered in sand. The reef is about 300 feet out from the Riviera Beach / Singer Island shore and sits in 12 to 18 feet of water. On a clear, claim day, you can see Riviera Reef from the beach.
Due to Florida law, you MUST use a dive flag when scuba diving and snorkeling Riviera Reef.

Drift Diving, West Palm Beach, FL
Due to the current produced by the Gulf Stream, West Palm Beach dives are conducted as drift dives, allowing you to drift effortlessly along miles of reefs. It is referred to by many as the “lazy man’s” way of diving.

The Riviera Beach / Singer Island Ocean Reef Park Snorkeling Beach Dive:
The reef at Ocean Reef Park is small and extremely close to shore. Even at high-tide, beach-goers can see the reef protruding from the ocean. Due to it's location and free parking, this is a very popular spot on the weekends. Ocean Reef Park is a shallow beach dive which is protected by lifeguards. It's great for beginners and non-Florida natives.
If you live and dive in Florida, this reef can be missed. It's full of people of all ages, swimming around and walking on the reef. Because it's so close to shore and people stirring up the sand, visibility at Ocean Reef Park is marginal.
This Singer Island snorkeling site is best around high tide. Scuba diving is not permitted at Ocean Reef Park, but snorkeling and free diving are.
NO NEED FOR A DIVE FLAG! (You must stay west of the swim buoy)

URBAN snorkeling paradise!!! Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, FL
In this video, I show you a little of the great snorkeling (and SCUBA diving) that is available just a short walk from your car in Riviera Beach, Florida.
On this trip, I only had about a half-hour to explore, so I only scratched the surface.
It's important to hit this spot during the hour before to the hour after high tide. I was right in that zone, and the visibility was great!
This spot gets VERY crowded, both with divers and beachgoers, so coming on a weekday would be advised.
Post any questions or comments below, and thanks for watching!

Although this one lemon shark kept coming for me, we felt very comfortable because our captain Bryce has been conducting these trips every day for eight years. Florida Shark Diving offers shark snorkel trips all year round. We were so fortunate to spend a full hour swimming with hammerhead and lemon sharks. Some days, visitors also see Bull and Tiger Sharks! Definitely check them out at the link below.
