This section of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is a diver’s paradise. Advanced divers and avid underwater photographers will love exploring the Eagle, one of the nine wrecks in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Shipwreck Trail. Meanwhile, new divers will thrive on vibrant shallow reefs including Alligator, Crocker and Davis reefs.
The popular gateway to the Keys, Key Largo is the ideal introduction to diving in this archipelago (the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary encompasses 2,900 square nautical miles, beginning in Biscayne National Park and extending all the way to the Dry Tortugas).
You can dive one of the oldest and fishiest wrecks in the Keys—the 188-foot Thunderbolt, a former World War II cable laying ship—or spend nearly endless bottom time exploring Sombrero Reef, where corals thrive.
The Lower Keys are the least developed of The Florida Keys and in many ways the most natural. The Lower Keys is known for its rare and endangered Key deer, the diminutive cousins of white-tailed deer.
A fitting end to a Florida Keys road trip is experiencing Key West’s fabled attractions, from the Hemingway House to Hog’s Breath Saloon, Mallory Square at Mile Marker 0, and of course, the diving.
