Scuba Diving In The Florida Keys

One of the best attractions in the Florida Keys is scuba diving. Diver’s from all around the world can enjoy the offerings found under the waters in this great travel destination. These turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean boast a wide array of Caribbean fish and invertebrates as well as historical shipwrecks.

Marathon is the best location in the Florida Keys and offers the following diving attractions:

• The Thunderbolt – This is a 188 foot ship that was intentionally sunk in March of 1986 in 115 feet of water to become a diving attraction.
• Coffin’s Patch – This is a collection of 6 different reef patches all with their own unique personality.  This is also a great destination for snorkelers with the incredible elkhorn forests that are found in water less than 20 feet deep.
• Delta Shoals – Another great spot for snorkelers and divers alike, featuring a conglomerate of coral canyons fanning outwards from the sandy shoal.
• Adelaide Baker – One of the historic shipwrecks found in the Florida keys in water that is only 25 feet deep.
