Scuba Diving in the Florida Keys
What you need to know before you go

For scuba diving, nothing in the United States can beat the Florida Keys.

The Florida Keys is home to the third largest barrier reef on the planet -- ranking up there with the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Meso-American Reef in Belize. It's the only living coral reefs in North America which attracts scuba divers from all over the world.

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary have been set aside as protected areas to insure the reefs continue to provide enjoyment to divers for years to come. This has resulted in some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world.

For beginners, The Florida Keys are a great place to get your scuba diving certification due to the many shallow dive sites that are ideal for novices.

Picnic on 30 miles of undeveloped shoreline with bays, sand dunes, sea turtles.
