Our Key Largo scuba excursion had us diving clear, blue water with
barracuda and turtles, coral structures to swim through and colorful
fish.
There are a set of tropical islands that stretch 120 miles starting
at the state of Florida’s southern most tip nestled between the Atlantic
Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The islands, or keys have a laid-back,
relaxed vibe and the waters are some of the best in the United States
for both scuba divers and freedivers.
Key Largo is a short drive from the Miami International airport but the transformation from mainland Florida to the island is astonishing. Miami is fast-paced hustle and bustle, but once you arrive in Key Largo the lyrics of Kokomo by the famous beach boys comes to mind.

Once
on the island, it is easy to find dive operators who will not only rent
you any gear you require, but take you out to some of the most
beautiful dive sites found on the east coast. Key Largo is known for its
shallow reefs and deep wrecks. Many of the dive sites are appropriate
for both divers and snorkelers, which makes this a prime destination for
families. The abundance of fish and hard and soft corals in both
shallow deep waters offers something for everyone. The brilliant natural
coral reefs are located just a few miles offshore and are world
renowned for their splendor.
As with some other dive destinations around the world, there are wrecks and amazing statues beneath the surface. These attractions are exciting to see and are amazing photo opportunities. John Pennekamp Coral Reef Underwater State Park is where the famous Christ of the Abyss statue is located. Key Largo houses underwater treasures that divers and snorkelers thoroughly enjoy. The colorful, tranquil sealife in these clear, tepid, azure waters leave visitors in awe and wanting more.
Scuba Diver Girls spent a week diving the waters of the Florida Keys and found it to be truly amazing diving. Our favorite features were the glorious beauty of the reefs and the cute sea turtles that fluttered along them. The turtles were unafraid of divers and seemed to enjoy observing us as much as we enjoyed them. The reef structures also drew our attention as we were able to dive in and out of what the dive operators called fingers. We found amazing sea life at every turn and truly agree with the statement other divers make about the keys… we too think it is the “Dive Capital of the World”.
