Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Cindy's Corner offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cindy's Corner, sitting at a comfortable 18 metres, is a solid choice for a relaxed dive in the Keys. We often suggest it for newer divers looking to build confidence or anyone wanting a chill afternoon in the water. You'll likely spot plenty of parrotfish munching on the reef, a scattering of grunts tucked into crevices, and maybe a green moray eel peeking out from under a coral head. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it delivers consistent, easy diving with a good chance of spotting some classic reef residents.
