The best dive sites in the Keys can be found in Key Largo, as this is where John Pennekamp State Park is located.
Key Largo also has 4 great wrecks to dive on.
Dive boat trips are 2 x daily, one 2-
The reefs here are in very good shape (National Sanctuary Park) and mostly shallow (25 to 40 feet), so they are ideal for beginners and all divers that want to enjoy lots of light on the reef and not worry about bottom time or air consumption. We see big nurse sharks, reef sharks, eagle rays, turtles, goliath groupers, barracudas and uncountable varieties of colourful fish here.
The deep wrecks (Spiegel Grove, Duane, Bibb) are at a larger depth (75-

The Local reefs and wrecks run parallel to Key Largo and head south to Key West. The National Marine Sanctuary and John Pennekamp State Park provides protection to help keep the reefs and its inhabitants healthy and growing.
Here are some of our dive sites:
FRENCH REEF
Depth Range: Shallow to 100 feet
Experience Level: Novice to Advanced
An exceptionally beautiful site, the ever popular reef is crammed full of caves, canyons, ledges, tunnels and swim-
MOLASSES REEF
Depth Range: Shallow to 40 feet
Experience Level: Novice to Intermediate
Reigns as the world's most popular dive site. The reef comprises a classic spur and groove system which begins near the surface and falls of gradually to a depth of 55 ft, so its great for snorkelers and divers alike.
You can easily spend an entire week checking out this one reef. Visibility tends to be the best here because the gulfstream dips in close to this reef. The population of reef creatures is always changing, and includes frequent visits by many different pelagic species. It’s not uncommon to see nurse sharks, eagle rays, southern stingrays, reef sharks, barracuda, as well as a wide variety of other fish.
THE CHRIST OF THE DEEP STATUE
Depth: 25 feet
Experience Level: Snorkeler or Novice
The Christ Statue was cast in Italy and donated to the Underwater Society of America by Egidi Cressi, an Italian industrialist and diving equipment manufacturer. It is a 9 foot tall bronze duplicate of the Christ of the Abysses statue, which stands in 50 feet of water off Genoa, Italy. Set in a beautiful reef area known for its outstanding brain corals, the figure of Christ stands silhouetted against the blue waters of the ocean, His arms upraised to the surface. We seldomly dive this site, but snorkeling trips are available daily.
Depth Range: 50 feet offshore, 20 feet inshore
Experience Level: Novice to Intermediate
An English built cargo vessel lost in a tragic chain of events in 1942. The Benwood rests on a level expanse of sand. Its fractured stern lies at a depth of 25 feet, while its bow points offshore at a depth of 45 feet. The bow is the most intact feature of the wreck and hull stretches the original length with portions of the outer wall still present. This is a great open wreck with lots of "nooks and crannies" to poke your head in and discover what hides in the dark. Eels, shrimp, lobster, and numerous fish await.

Twin 327' coast guard cutters were sunk in 1987 as the first of Key Largo's artificial reefs. The Duane is in 120 ft of water and sits straight up. She is 327 ft long and is covered with life. The 20+ years she has sat on the bottom has allowed her to transform into a spectacular habitat for many species. Masses of barracudas hover from her crow's nest at 60ft, as if they are standing at attention. As divers get closer to the deck at 90ft the vibrant colors of algae, coral, and sponge become evident. Large goliath groupers, turtles, eels, and game fish swim around making this an exciting deep dive. Bull sharks are often spotted in the distance by divers. The Bibb is the sister ship of the Duane, and the structure is the same. The interesting difference is that she lies on her side in 130ft of water. You will reach the hull structure at 60 ft. This is a very different dive when it comes to perspective.
