Dive in Florida Keys

One of the best areas to dive within North America is Florida Keys, a long string of islands just south of Miami.

There's great scuba diving all along the Keys, from the first community of Key Largo, through to the middle at Marathon and all the way to the end where Key West is located. You can travel to Key Largo in about 45 minutes from Miami and there the protected Pennekamp Marine Park offers much more marine life to see than the waters of Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Key Largo in particular is a scuba diver's town, with numerous dive operators and some retailers who carry diving equipment and gear.
A great thing about scuba in Florida Keys is the large variety of dive resorts for every level of diver.

With depths of 30 to 50 feet, these are perfect resorts for beginners as well for those who wish to do night dives. You'll find also there some good wreck diving sites, like the Benwood wreck, where the marine life will not disappoint any diver. For the advanced divers Florida's Keys offer some spectacular deep dives, featuring large wrecks like Duane, a former coast guard ship. The most recent ship that was sunk there is Spiegel Grove, but this site is also just for advanced divers.
