Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Good patches offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Good Patches, just a quick boat ride from Key Largo, lives up to its name with scattered coral heads across a sandy bottom. You'll find plenty of smaller reef fish here, parrotfish grazing, and often nurse sharks napping under ledges. It's a relaxed, shallower dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank. We often spot turtles cruising by.
