If you have an interest for exploring, salvaging or just reading about some of Florida's Treasure shipwrecks, I have included a list of links that were fascinating! Check them out!

Here is another addition to the sites of reference I have found on the net for Real Spanish Treasure!

These sites are excellent for diving and exploring.

It appears that one of the plate fleet wrecks (San Pedro) is off limits because it is in a florida state park. Is this true?

How long do you think it will be before all the treasure is salvaged from the Spanish plate fleet with all of these salvaging companies going at it?

Not off limits to diving, just to treasure hunting!

Larsmed kindly removed the picture.
You might want to get a copy of Duncan Mathewsons book, Treasure of the Atocha. That is the source material and has lots of my pictures. The most recent book on Atocha is by Jedwin Smith and called Fatal Treasure.
