RMS Cyclops was a 105-foot-long (32-meter) steel-hulled offshore supply vessel originally used in the oil and gas industry. She was deployed as an artificial reef on April 18, 2023 by Okaloosa County. The deployment experienced a few complications, with trapped air in the hull causing the vessel to roll over when it sank. The vessel currently sits resting on its wheelhouse on a sandy seabed at a depth of 72 feet (22 meters). Despite its atypical position (or perhaps because of it) the wreck is popular with local divers. It supports a variety of marine life, including a goliath grouper, who can often be seen in the space behind the wheelhouse, along with plenty of snapper and jack species.
