Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Hog Heaven offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Hog Heaven, just off Islamorada, feels like a proper wreck dive without being an actual wreck. We think it's a great spot for advanced divers. The site is a collection of old bridge rubble from the Overseas Highway, dumped years ago, and it's built into some impressive structure. You'll find goliath groupers often hanging out, sometimes half a dozen of them, along with plenty of snapper and barracuda moving through. Currents can be strong, so keep an eye on conditions.
