Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - D Tower offers some of Florida Keys's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
D Tower is a pinnacle dive in the Florida Keys, best for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles. We’ve seen Goliath groupers here, sometimes in significant numbers, and schools of jacks often swirl around the structure. The tower itself is a remnant, not a vibrant reef, but it acts as an excellent fish magnet. It's a solid choice when you’re looking for pelagics rather than intricate coral.
