With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Commercial Pier Reef offers some of Florida Keys's richest reef diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Commercial Pier Reef in the Florida Keys offers a dive site distinct from typical natural reefs. While we don't have exact depth or difficulty data, dives here usually involve exploring the pier’s structure, which attracts various fish species seeking shelter. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts and photographers looking for something a bit different than the open reef, often best for divers who enjoy man-made structures and the life they foster.
