Diving and Snorkeling

The upper Keys have one of the first protected reefs in the world. Our reef system has been under federal protection since the early 1960s. This means it has abundant life and bio diversity. Thousands of species of fish and coral inhabit our barrier reef system. Most reefs are in shallow waters just 20 to 40 feet deep and they lie only 2 to 5 miles offshore. The Upper Keys reefs are always recognized for their easy diving and snorkeling. They are perfect for both the new and seasoned underwater adventurer.

For the more advanced divers, we have several wrecks. Most wrecks are lying just off the reef in deeper waters. Also deeper drift dives can be done over coral fingers in 50 to 90 feet of water. There is something for all levels of diver certification.

Your hosts are avid divers with many years of experience. Please feel free to contact Mike or Carol. They will be able to answer your questions.
