The Diving

This is a perfect underwater classroom for your continuing dive education. In these beautifully clear, warm waters we will explore the amazing reefs and prolific fish life in the protected Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It is common to see eagle rays, eels, turtles, amazing schools of fish, dolphins, barracuda, and the occasional shark. The Florida Keys are also the home of “Shipwreck Trail”. You can enjoy shipwrecks from the Spanish American War to the modern 510-foot Spiegel Grove, which  was sunk in 2002. We will dive with Sea Dwellers, a PADI 5-star Gold Palm resort. All dives are conducted off Sea Dweller’s specialized dive boat with plenty of room for our group.
