Dive on the reef 1:30 pm *
We go to one of our spectacular reefs every afternoon, two one-hour dives on different reef locations. Leaving the dock at 1:30 pm, check-in time is at 1:00 pm, and returning to the dock at around 5:30 pm.
The reef is approximately six miles offshore – about a 40 minute boat ride – and provides a number of locations for scuba diving in Key West. The Florida Reef is the only living coral barrier reef in the United States. It is the third largest coral barrier reef system in the world and lies approximately six miles seaward of the Florida Keys in water that are typically fifteen to thirty feet deep. The reef’s sites we dive are located within the National Marine Sanctuary, which means they are protected areas and therefore have spectacular coral and fish life. 110 species of corals and over 500 species of tropical fish in our coral reef community, all species are interrelated and live in harmony. Our typical reef dive is between 10’ and 40’ deep. Sites are chosen based on daily conditions.
* Required to have done a dive within at least the last 2 years – otherwise a pool refresher would be required prior to your dives.
While we primarily take out scuba divers ~ snorkelers will also be able to enjoy our Reef trips when conditions permit
