Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Fire Coral Cave offers some of Florida Keys's richest cave diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Fire Coral Cave is a shallow, beginner-friendly dive. You can swim through a small cavern, which is an interesting change from the usual reef dives here. Keep an eye out for the fire coral lining the entrance, hence the name, and the usual reef fish darting in and out of the crevices. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a short, easy dive.
