Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Corona offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Corona dive site in the Florida Keys sits at a consistent 12 meters, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers. You'll find a fairly typical patch reef here, with scattered corals and the usual reef fish like parrotfish and grunt. It’s a good, easy dive for shaking off the rust or getting accustomed to the local conditions, without any strong currents to contend with. We’d suggest it for an afternoon boat dive when you're after something straightforward.
