Key Largo Diving
Key Largo diving may well be at the top of the list of scuba destinations for divers all over the world. It’s some of the easiest diving in the world- the coral reef is close and known for shallow depths from Key Largo to Islamorada. You’ll also discover that coral reef here in the Upper Keys, as this area is known, has a dense coral cover and lots of fish life as well. If you only have a short time for scuba, make Key Largo diving a priority!
Another reason Key Largo attracts divers is the multitude of wrecks around the reef. Some of the wrecks in this area come up to fifty feet from the surface, making them very diver-friendly. Many of the wrecks are also close together, making dive trips all about diving and less about riding in the boat. From the 510-foot Spiegel Grove to the coral-covered Eagle, the wrecks of Key Largo offer plenty to see and endless opportunities for discovery. Learn details about each wreck site here on our website by clicking around and doing some pre-trip exploration.
Every diver who comes to Key Largo to explore the reef soon discovers John Pennekamp State Park. Dive boats head out every day from the marina inside the park, and there are also lots of other reef-related activities centered within its boundaries. Read more about Pennekamp Park and other Marine Parks in the Florida Keys before you visit. It’s the marine sanctuaries that preserve much of the coral reef and the life around it. Sanctuary Preserve Areas, or SPAs, are very much a part of every scuba diver’s experience. Most scuba divers have some environmental awareness regarding preserving the marine ecosystem for everyone to enjoy. Perhaps this is why Pennekamp is such a beloved and respected State Park and one of the top scuba vacation destinations in the world.
